[Verse]
I held her hand under the old oak tree
Laughter spilled like waves from a restless sea
Kids chasing fireflies
Their joy ran free
Now the silence hums
It’s just me
[Chorus]
It was all a dream
It was all a dream
The love
The life
The in-between
I reached for the morning
Tore the seams
It was all a dream
Just a cruel dream
[Verse 2]
Her voice still echoes through the empty hall
Crayon marks on the kitchen wall
A photo smiles but it starts to fall
I wake again
Nothing at all
[Prechorus]
Did I lose them
Or did they lose me
Or was it never meant to be
[Chorus]
It was all a dream
It was all a dream
The love
The life
The in-between
I reached for the morning
Tore the seams
It was all a dream
Just a cruel dream
[Bridge]
Time’s a thief with a heart of stone
Stealing futures we’ve never known
I build a castle
But I’m alone
Dust for bricks
A silent throne
