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
