One sided dream

Verse 1
We were talkin’ ‘bout houses with porches and lights
Names picked out for the kids one night
Mapped out towns we’d never seen
You said forever like you meant it to me
Your boots by the door, your shirt on my floor
I thought that meant you weren’t leavin’ anymore

Pre-Chorus
I was buildin’ a life with every word you said
Didn’t know I was buildin’ it alone instead

Chorus
It was a one sided dream, I was all in, you were halfway gone
I was seein’ forever, you were just passin’ the time I was on
I was bettin’ my heart on the future we planned
You were already lettin’ go of my hand
Yeah I woke up to find it wasn’t what it seemed
Turns out forever was a one sided dream

Verse 2
We talked ‘bout Sundays, slow dances in kitchens
Old photographs and family traditions
You smiled and nodded, played along
While I was thinkin’ nothin’ could go wrong
Then one goodbye, no warning sign
Just “this ain’t right” and you were gone that night

Pre-Chorus
You said you needed space, said you needed time
Funny how that always means leavin’ me behind

Chorus
It was a one sided dream, I was all in, you were halfway gone
I was seein’ forever, you were just passin’ the time I was on
I was bettin’ my heart on the future we planned
You were already lettin’ go of my hand
Yeah I woke up to find it wasn’t what it seemed
Turns out forever was a one sided dream

Bridge
Now I replay every promise like it was real
Guess I felt enough for the both of us to feel
You kept your options, I closed every door
That’s the part that still hurts the most

Outro / Final Chorus
Yeah it was a one sided dream, but it felt so damn true
I was livin’ our life, you were just livin’ through
Now I’m learnin’ the truth in the wreckage you left
If you’re dreamin’ alone, you wake up with regret
Yeah I believed in us, I believed in your schemes
But love don’t survive when it’s a one sided dream
