lyrics

I Should No Better (Dreaming Alone)

I should know better
Cause I have seen worse
Such a go getter
But that was my curse
Am I only writing
To humour myself?
In a cave made of words
In which I will delve

Am I like water
Or am I like stone?
I’m lost in the feeling
Of dreaming alone

I just can’t seem to
Bust out of this brain
A sunny disposition
To hide the inner rain
I ain’t no magician, no,
It’s just tricks and illusion
I’m just living off a dream
That covered delusion

Am I like water
Or am I like stone?
I’m lost in the feeling
Of dreaming alone

The song just won’t fade out
It’s stuck on repeat
There were so many victories
That lead to certain defeat
As plain as the day that it was
I never saw it coming
It’s just another break up song
That you can hear me humming

Am I like water
Or am I like stone
Can I reveal
What I’ve always known
How many sins
Do I need to atone
I’m lost in the feeling
Of dreaming alone.

I should, no better.
