I'm giving up on day dreaming
I'm giving up the songs
I'm giving up on imagaing
It's only done me wrong.

I'm putting a stop to all that hope
It doesn't serve me now;
Fluttering for a moment
And only to fall back down.

My hearts too bruised
To keep being lifted
The brain leading it on
Luring it in.

But it's only reality that awaits
It's only dissappointment.

So I'm giving up on dreaming.
Giving up on songs.
Ceasing all the wishing.
Knowing it does wrong.
