You Caught Me Dreaming

It feels so unreal
like watching the doom
of a world I've imagined
only to bring to it's ruin

*

And this part that I've played
all to well, so superbly
I cast myself in
now I beg for your mercy
*
I wanted time
and you wanted meaning
I sought a fortune
yeah, but you caught me dreaming
*
I gave it all away
for a chance at redemption
I was a fool to believe
I was hardly worth a mention
*
And now that it's lost
and now that it's gone
I realize it meant nothing
it's not what I wanted at all
*
Now me and The Devil
share a drink, just two friends
he'll never find salvation
and I'll never know your love again
*
I wanted time
and you wanted meaning
I sought a fortune
yeah, but you caught me dreaming
*
I wanted time
and you wanted meaning
I sought a fortune
yeah, but you caught me dreaming...
