My dreams won’t stay in dreamland
I carry them with me
‘Cause what was reality last night
Is morning’s fantasy

In my dreams I hold tight to you
Afraid to let go
And when I wake up, I’m alone

Oh, a dream can be worse than a nightmare
Making me believe it could come true
You could love me
I could hold you
A dream is bittersweet
Keeps me coming back for more
But, every time I do
I wonder what I broke my heart again for
Last time I checked, you didn’t want my love
So, here’s reality, Dreamer
WAKE UP

A nightmare at least ends
With a great sigh of relief
And sweet dreams are overrated
All they bring me is grief

In my dreams I say I love you
You say the same to me
But when I wake up my mouth is locked shut
And I can’t find the key!

Oh, a dream can be worse than a nightmare
Making me believe it could come true
You could love me
I could hold you
A dream is bittersweet
Keeps me coming back for more
But, every time I do
I wonder what I broke my heart again for
Last time I checked, you didn’t want my love

Reality stares me in the face
But I can’t put these foolish dreams
Back in their place
I hate them because they make me long for you
But, that’s why I love them
Too

A dream can be worse than a nightmare
Making me believe it could come true
You could love me
I could hold you
A dream is bittersweet
Keeps me coming back for more
But, every time I do
I wonder what I broke my heart again for
And I know that you don’t need my love
Here’s reality, reality
Oh come on, Dreamer
WAKE UP

Wake up, wake up
Dreamer

My dreams won’t stay in dreamland
I carry them with me
‘Cause what was reality last night
Is morning’s fantasy
