Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro] (pno) (pad-lw)
I had a dream…

[Verse 1] (pno)
I had a dream, it was of you
Felt so damn real, I thought it was true
My heart seemed whole, my life complete
I watched you sleep, couldn’t feel my feet

I saw your smile, it was in your eyes
Then came the pain, I realized
That you were gone when morning came
And nothin’ here feels the same

[Pre-Chorus] (pno)
Now I can’t sleep, can’t get back there
To that place where you still cared

[Chorus] (pno) (dr-sf)
I had a dream I was holdin’ you
Wakin’ up hurt worse than the truth
Now every night I’m fightin’ through
These empty hours without you

I pray your dreams all come true
‘Cause every one of mine’s still you
I only wish they were real somehow
I had a dream… and I’m payin’ for it now

[Verse 2] (pno)
I dread the days I wait alone
Hopin’ your name lights up my phone
I’d say the things I should’ve said
Before you left me half dead

It’s been a while since I felt okay
I fake a smile, then look away
I still see you when I close my eyes
That’s where our goodbye still hides

[Pre-Chorus] (pno)
I think of you every day
Wonder how I let you slip away

[Chorus] (pno) (dr-sf)
I had a dream I was holdin’ you
Wakin’ up hurt worse than the truth
Now every night I’m fightin’ through
These empty hours without you

I pray your dreams all come true
‘Cause every one of mine’s still you
I only wish they were real somehow
I had a dream… and I’m payin’ for it now

[Bridge] (pno) (drop)
I keep chasin’ sleep like it’s whiskey or you
Knowin’ damn well what it’s gonna do
Every time I close my eyes, I lose
’Cause I wake up needin’ you

[Final Chorus] (full)
I had a dream it was me and you
Same old love, same worn boots
Now I’m wide awake, barely breathin’
Livin’ off what I was seein’

I’ll take my dreams and fake a smile
Tell myself I’ll be alright
But it’s all that’s left when the night comes through
Me, these dreams… and missin’ you

[Outro] (pno)
I had a dream…
God, I wish it was true
