I hope and I dream and as time passes by

These hopes and dreams continue to grow

I begin to fear

And dread

That what I wish for

Will never come true.

My stomach twists

My heart hurts

My chest tightens

And I can't breathe.

I am nothing without these dreams

And yet they are pulling me down

Down into a world that suffocates me

Suffocates me with the fear of one day

Waking up

And realising

That all my doubts were true

And I never made it

I never got away

That I'm stuck here.

With you.
