What Has Happened To My Dreams

I’d like to fly, but in my dreams I’m falling
I’d like to float, but in my dreams I drown
I’d like to love, but in my dreams there’s no-one around

What has happened to my dreams?
My laughter is now screams.
All the beauty, all the cares
have become nightmares.

And I don’t know why.

I make a wish upon a star, and it says
it’s just the way things are.
