Dead End of a Dream

[Intro]
(Mm, mm, mm, mm)

[Verse 1]
No, don't wanna think about it, baby
There were growing pains and, yeah, it changed me
And I wanted us together, I dreamed about forever
Still feel it, but I need to let it go
'Cause all you do is light the fire
And feed the flames and make 'em higher
And I know I should've seen
You'd never cut me clean
And, oh, it sounds obscene, I know

[Chorus]
You can keep the pictures and the flowers
Just give me back the heartbeats and the hours
I thought about it every single night
How you roped me with your lies
How you took away a light that used to shine
And you can keep your beauty in the mirror
Just give me back the words that I have whispered
I'd love you 'til my last day, you promised there was no way
That the love we had was ever gonna be the dead end of a dream

[Verse 2]
You don't wanna love me, 'cause you don't want that life
Wut let you tell me there's nothing on this earth that's so divine
And everyone, everyone sees it
While you keep on making up reasons
To say that you can only see the trouble in my eyes
Well, let me tell you that I'm sick of it
All the pain that I am living with
It's killing me in silence
No, I'm never on the right end
So have it all, take it and leave
'Cause it don't mean nothing to me, oh

[Chorus]
You can keep the pictures and the flowers
Just give me back the heartbeats and the hours
I thought about it every single night
How you roped me with your lies
How you took away a light that used to shine
And you can keep your beauty in the mirror
Just give me back the words that I have whispered
I'd love you 'til my last day, you promised there was no way
That the love we had was ever gonna be the dead end of a dream

[Bridge]
I saw a place, I swear it felt like heaven
It was perfect, it was you and me together
You took my soul and broke my bones
And it's not getting better

[Chorus]
You can keep the pictures and the flowers
Just give me back the heartbeats and the hours
I thought about it every single night
How you roped me with your lies
How you took away a light that used to shine
And you can keep your beauty in the mirror
Just give me back the words that I have whispered
You promised me, you promised me, you promised me
That we would never be, would never be the dead end of a dream
