"What We Have Here is a Dreamer"

There is a sorrow here, unlike anywhere else
there is misfortune here, extending past myself
there is a stolen heart everyone could confess
there is a loneliness

I think I've gotten her out completely
I've written her down in clever words
tied into melodies
At least I'm letting it go finally
it only took two with clever names
helping to see clearly

How long can this last, are we stuck in the past?
I cannot breathe and I need your faith in me

There is a sorrow here, that's not planning to leave
there is such disdain here, in the words we speak
there is a heavy heart for everyone to repress
there is this emptiness

I hope I've gotten it out honestly
by raising a glass to honor him
trying to breathe easy
At least I'm taking this all more lightly
my insides were all such a mess
tied up so tightly

How far can this go, will this help us to grow?
I'm on the fence and I'm losing balance
I'll keep my promise if you will forget this

Someday now my eyes
will spark some new life
my hands be untied

And without a need
or reason to speak
some room just to breathe
