I paint my nails black ‘cause it fits my mood
I’m tired of looking around for something to prove
You don’t know How It feels inside my skin
But neither do I cause I know my feeling

Take it away, all of my pain
I got a bottle I gotta finish
Take it away, Take it from me
Cause if you don’t, I might drown in it

And I keep telling my telling my telling myself, that my bad luck’s gonna go away
And I keep trying and trying and trying tryna win but I/’m losing everyday
I wanna get up and fight but I don’t have the time, I’m too busy feeling sorry for me
When it looks like the clouds are gone, I wake up, It was just a dream, it was just a dream
It was just a dreeeeam , it was all a dream

Mmmhhhmmm

I walk around cold to the one that lie
Seein u tryna talk but im deaf to lies , right
I believe in promises of tomorrow
If I don’t make it then, know that im sorry though

Take it away, take it from me
Cause I really wanna believe
After the rain, someone will say that there really is more for me

And I keep telling my telling my telling myself, that my bad luck’s gonna go away
And I keep trying and trying and trying tryna win but Im losing everyday

I wanna get up and fight but I don’t have the time, too busy feeling sorry for me
When it looks like the clouds are gone, I wake up, It was just a

See I’ve been through hell and I am still get to come back
There is no conduct to get this on track
I have dreams of freedom for the circumstance I’m in
If It's in his plans for me then I will win
Ill just dream till then

And I keep telling my telling my telling myself that my bad luck’s gonna go away
And I keep trying and trying and trying tryna win but I’m losing everyday
I wanna get up and fight but I don’t have the time, too busy feeling sorry for me
When it looks like the clouds are gone, I wake up, It was just a dream, it was just a dream
It was just a dreeeeam , it was all a dream , it was just a dream

Just a dream, just a dream
All our plans and our all schemes
How could I think you'd be mine
The lies I'd tell myself each time

I know that we could never last
You just can't seem to end the past
Just a dream I dream in vain
With you I'd only live in pain

Your picture is always with me
I can still hear that same mournful song
And now I sit here crying
Please leave me alone

Why, why do I love you
How can I live in misery
I know that I won't forget you
But now I know it's too late for me

Your picture is always with me
I can still hear that same mournful song
And now I sit here crying
Please leave me alone

Why, why do I love you
How can I live in misery
I know that I won't forget you
But now I know it's too late for me

It ain't a thang in this world thats gonna knock me off my feet
As I unleash total chaos into the streets
For I observe these dirty words whispering' through your mouth
So I now I take it you the big dog about the south
Oh really now, though whose to say that we won't never make it
Or even get the chance to tell the world just how we made it
Cause know that we gonna keep it crunk, no matter what
Now who the fuck, just al nut, it's a must for you to get crushed
So don't rush to get dat' change
You'd besta wake on up and take a look inside this frame
For everything ain't everything when times are gettin' rough
To pressure is your conscience in this game you callin' bluff
Now nigga what, yeah

Oh, a lot of hatin' went on doing this thang here
Folks just swore we wasn't finna' put it down for the A-town
You know what I'm saying? I ain't gotta call no names
Cause you know who you are
You know what I'm sayin'
All I got to say to all of y'all is...
You can't keep nobody from the Attic down
Know what I'm sayin', and thats on the floor

Yea, it's me, remember me from back in the day
The same ol' nigga you thought wouldn't get paid
Look at me now nigga, shit done changed
Ain't no mo' gettin' wet in the rain
Hennessey and dank to kill all my pain
Sho' nuff' you can hear, but you can't feel me man
And it's a damn shame, we go through what we do
Playa hatin' while I'm chillin' on the avenue
Can't hold no nigga down from the Attic Crew
Thats for trill on the blow, straight from me to you
Better listen up now, cause ain't no tellin' whats next
The dem' between real and the ones that flex
All in your face grinnin' when you cash that check
But when they get down and dirty it's like "fuck dat' bitch"
Ass nigga, so how you figga' I was wrong
Got a baby, and a crib to keep clothes on
Long time ago, way before the grind
Trouble had become a friend of mine
You off up in my head, its just a matter of time
Before I rip shit apart and let Sean Paul shine
Like dem' folks open face off in yo' grill
I ain't tryin' to be greedy, I'm just tryin' to live
Now that the picture clear, and you know what I mean
Being broke all again slick it's just a dream

[Chorus:]

Was it just a dream?
Did I feel your devotion?
Dreams are never what they seem
Did we just go through the motions?

I keep your photograph by my bed to remind me
That I was part of your life
I say my prayers to the sandman
That he'll find me fast asleep

Sleep has always been kind
And in my dreams you'll always be mine
But in the morning when I wake
I remember that my heart does ache

[chorus, repeat]

I admit that I did my bit to deceive you
But sometimes I was afraid
That this day would come
How could you just leave me all alone now

I have always been strong
So I know that I can go on
But right now I feel so dead inside
Oh sleep come to me, cause that's where I hide

[chorus, repeat]

All that I have, all I ask
All my dreams, they fade so fast
Don't wake me up, not today
All my dreams will fade away

And I want him, and I need him
I can't live and I'd die just to see him
Just to feel his hands on my face
Smell his skin, and his warm embrace
Cause it's all that I have
And it's fading so fast

Mmmm, mmmm
Uh, uh huh

Now I have always been strong
So I know that I can go on
But right now I feel so dead inside
Oh sleep come to me, cause that's where I hide

[chorus, repeat]

All that I have, all that I ask
All my dreams, they fade so fast
Don't wake me up, not today
All my dreams will fade away

(Was it just a dream?)
And I want him, and I need him
I can't live and I'd die just to see him
Don't wake me up, not today
All my dreams will fade away

(Was it just a dream?)
All that I have, all that I ask
All my dreams, they fade so fast
Don't wake me up, not today
All my dreams will fade away
[repeat and fade]

I'm so alone
Waitin' by the phone
Your hand is in my hair
I'd know it anywhere
I fell so sad till I think of you
But I'm in the sand and i Understand

There's nothin' else i wanna do
I spend all day dreamin' of you
I haven't seen you for a while
i need your kiss I miss your smile
All the things i liked you for
Make me want you more and More
I don't know what to say
I've got to get to you today

i can feel the heat
Standin next to you
Think about you al the time
Never get you off my Mind

I had a dream last night
That you weren't in my life
It felt so real, that i

Woke up reacin' for you baby
What would i do, if ever i lost you

[Chorus:]
I would walk this earth
I would sail the seas
I would climb the highest mountain
Get down on my knees
And pray for a miracle
God bring her back to me
That's what i'd do
But it was just a dream, just a dream

Never before, have i
Felt so much relief inside
Till i opened my eyes
And you, were lying there beside me baby
What would i do, if i ever lost you?

[Chorus:]
I would walk this earth
I would sail the seas
I would climb the highest mountain
Get down on my knees
And pray for a miracle
God bring her back to me
That's what i'd do
But it was just a dream, just a dream

And thank God that's all it was
But it proved to me how much
I love you, and without you, what would i do?

[Chorus:]
I would walk this earth
I would sail the seas
I would climb the highest mountain
Get down on my knees
And pray for a miracle
God bring her back to me
That's what i'd do
But it was just a dream, just a dream

It was just a dream

I had a dream last night
That you weren't in my life
It felt so real, that i

Woke up reacin' for you baby
What would i do, if ever i lost you

[Chorus:]
I would walk this earth
I would sail the seas
I would climb the highest mountain
Get down on my knees
And pray for a miracle
God bring her back to me
That's what i'd do
But it was just a dream, just a dream

Never before, have i
Felt so much relief inside
Till i opened my eyes
And you, were lying there beside me baby
What would i do, if i ever lost you?

[Chorus:]
I would walk this earth
I would sail the seas
I would climb the highest mountain
Get down on my knees
And pray for a miracle
God bring her back to me
That's what i'd do
But it was just a dream, just a dream

And thank God that's all it was
But it proved to me how much
I love you, and without you, what would i do?

[Chorus:]
I would walk this earth
I would sail the seas
I would climb the highest mountain
Get down on my knees
And pray for a miracle
God bring her back to me
That's what i'd do
But it was just a dream, just a dream

It was just a dream

It was two weeks after the day she turned eighteen
All dressed in white
Going to the church that night
She had his box of letters in the passenger seat
Sixpence in a shoe, something borrowed, something blue
And when the church doors opened up wide
She put her veil down
Trying to hide the tears
Oh she just couldn't believe it
She heard trumpets from the military band
And the flowers fell out of her hand

Baby why'd you leave me
Why'd you have to go?
I was counting on forever, now I'll never know
I can't even breathe
It's like I'm looking from a distance
Standing in the background
Everybody's saying, he's not coming home now
This can't be happening to me
This is just a dream

The preacher man said let us bow our heads and pray
Lord please lift his soul, and heal this hurt
Then the congregation all stood up and sang the saddest song that she ever heard
Then they handed her a folded up flag
And she held on to all she had left of him
Oh, and what could have been
And then the guards rang one last shot
And it felt like a bullet in her heart

Baby why'd you leave me
Why'd you have to go?
I was counting on forever, now I'll never know
I can't even breathe
It's like I'm looking from a distance
Standing in the background
Everybody's saying, he's not coming home now
This can't be happening to me
This is just a dream

Oh,
Baby why'd you leave me
Why'd you have to go?
I was counting on forever, now I'll never know
Oh, now I'll never know
It's like I'm looking from a distance
Standing in the background
Everybody's saying, he's not coming home now
This can't be happening to me
This is just a dream

Oh, this is just a dream
Just a dream
Yeah, Yeah

Was I dreaming...
Was I awake...
Or did you come home
Today...
For the rest of my life...
A little pity...
For the rest of our lives...
A little pitty...

Pick up your stones and go to work on my bones
Then tell me if I'll be alright
I'll come round for this moment
The only other moment
To see you when you're down
I come round
I'll come around
See you when you're down..
This is a mistake...
Long roads never cast the long burning embers
Of your heart
When the sun rose the surface,
It removed the reflection of you
Long roads don't mean anything to me now
They're gone...
And done...
Into the sun...
For now...

Pick up your stones and go to work on my bones
Then tell me if I'll be alright
I'll come round for this moment
The only other moment
To see you when you're down
I'll come round...
I'll come around
See you when you're down...
This is a mistake...

[Verse 1:]
When I look in your eyes
I see a whole different sky
Like I've never seen before
And when I hear your voice
It's like a song that I can
Listen to o', over again

[Pre-chorus 1:]
It's so crazy how you make me go crazy
Every time that I'm near you

[Chorus 1:]
Cause you're just a dream
This is my reality
Totally insanity
If I could be in your dream
All I wanna do is be with you be with you
You're just a dream
Just a dream

[Verse 2:]
When I picture the world
It takes me to the sun
I think about the way you smile
And the words that you say
Always seem to change
The world that I've been living in

[Pre-chorus 2:]
It's so crazy how you make me go crazy
Every time that I'm near you

[Chorus:]
Cause you're just a dream
This is my reality
Totally insanity
If I could be in your dream
All I wanna do is be with you be with you
You're just a dream
Just a dream
You're just a dream
Just a dream yeah

[Bridge:]
More than my imagination could ever see
You're just a dream
If I could be with you

[Chorus:]
You're just a dream
This is my reality
Totally insanity
If I could be in your dream
All I wanna do is be with you be with you
Cause You're just a dream
This is my reality
Totally insanity
If I could be in your dream
All I wanna do is be with you be with you
Be with you
You're just a dream
Oh whoa you're just a dream
Just a dream

I was thinking about her
Thinking bout me

So I travel back (uh)

I was at the top and now its like I'm in the basement
Number 1 spot, Now she find her a replacement
I swear now I can't take it
Knowing somebody's got my baby

Now you ain't around, baby I can't think
I shoulda put it down, shoulda got that ring
Cuz I can still feel it in the air
See her pretty face, run my fingers through her hair

My lover, my life, My shawty, my wife
She left me, Im tied.
Cuz I knew that it just ain't right

I was thinking about her
Thinking bout me
Thinkin bout us (us)
What we gunna be?

No one knows
I realize (Yeah)

When I be ridin
man I swear I see your face at every turn
trying to get my usher on but I can't let it burn
And I just hope that she notice she the only one I learn for
No more will I be missing, will I learn?

Didn't give her all my love
I guess now I got my payback
Now im in the club thinking all about my baby
HEY, she was so easy to love
But wait, I guess that love wasn't enough
I'm going through it everytime that I'm alone
Now I'm wishing she would pick up the phone
But she made a decision that she wanted to move on
Cause I was wrong.

I was thinking about her
Thinking bout me
Thinkin bout us (us)
What we gunna be?
Open my eyes, (Yeah)
it was only just a dream...

So I travel back (Uh)
Down that road (road)
Will she come back? (back)
No one knows
I realize (Yeah)
It was only just a dream...

If you ever loved somebody put your hands up
If you ever loved somebody put your hands up
Now they're gone and you wish you could give them everything
