Death of a Dreamer

I always wanted to fast track
But now I'm flying this plane at much too fast a speed
Trying not to remember that-
it's just running on hopes and dreams
I always wanted big things
Dreamed harder than anyone, I'm sure
Wishing on stars, Playing all the right cards,
Hoping they'd see all that I could be

Now life's taken a strange, strange turn
I've lost that strength I had within
and that fire that burned inside
Burns in everyone but me, and I
go back to where this all begins,
Where did it all go wrong?
I've thought it through a thousand times, and each time I come to believe
that I've lost the dreamer in me

They'll say I told you so- I know
They'll smile and tell me I was wrong
They'll break me down, that's no surprise
They'll claim to see the forfit in my eyes
I'll understand what they are saying
They must have known it all along

How I only wanted to show them-
I was someone

Now life's taken a strange, strange turn
I've lost that strength I had within
and that fire that burned inside
Burns in everyone but me, and I
go back to where this all begins,
Where did I go wrong?
I've thought it through a thousand times, and each time I come to believe
I've lost the dreamer in me

The stars they fade- real life remains
this life's gone strange
Need that fire- need that passion
Give them my dreams, get a reaction
Bring them to life
Want to feel alive

Life's taken a strange, strange turn
Lost that strength that was within
That fire that burned inside
Burns in everyone but me, and I
go back to where this all begins,
Did I make a mistake in doing this?
I've thought it through a thousand times, and each time I come to believe
I've lost the dreamer in me
