Pipe Dream

© 2020

You made me want you, like we had something good
Let me go, can’t you? Its all misunderstood

You know that I love you, thinking of you every day
You know I adore you, can’t ignore you, there’s no way

He said he would bring you anything your heart desires
I bring only flowers. talk for hours through the wires
thoughts of me in your head, no bigger than a rat’s dream
thoughts of me in your bed, no better than a pipe dream

You made me want you, like we had something good
Let me go, can’t you? Its all misunderstood

I know you’ve been lying, I’ve been crying in my bed
I know I can’t do this, I can’t go through this until I’m dead

Busy boy, made a lot of money, cash, dough, cheddar, chips, honey,
Mash, snow, ullah, bread, greens
But I know I’m not your only scene
Never got a sight of who your really are, although you’re the star
Of the show and I know I can’t take you as far as you want to go

Gotta a second sight I see through your story doesn’t quite ring true
Your lies are just a smoke screen, advertising your lost dream
Trust me when I tell it like it is, I can’t take another day like this
Can’t make it or stay naked
Block me, cancel me, shock me I can’t take it any more

Threats to lose my life to gun or knife leave me the same
If I show my cards will you discard this fun and games?
Picture you when you said you’d never take another
Picture you in my head, when time I was your lover

You made me want you, like we had something good
Let me go, can’t you, ‘s’all’ misunderstood

Can’t be no thoughts of me in your head, much bigger than a rat’s dream
Find myself living in a pipe dream - I’m living in a pipe dream
Makes me wanna scream!
