Like the Dream of It
Brooke Annibale
It's been a long while since the words came quick
My heart was narrow and my skin was thick
Blessed and I'm cursed by the feeling
I can't forget all the sparks I've seen
Questioning what I thought I knew
But if I'd seen it coming I'd have thought it through
Built up to ruin by this simple fear
Losing everything that I hold dear
Maybe I was young or just naive
Now I'm not sure what to believe
Nothing comes as easy as I thought this was
Nothing turns out like the dream of it does
I thought I had it all figured out
But I can't distinguish truth from the doubt
Doesn't come as easy as I thought this was
Nothing turns out like the dream of it does
