Just Another Dream

I try to act like I don't care

Like nothing can ever get me down

Nothing hurts me, because my God is bigger

Stronger than your words, your actions

But at the end of the day I look in the mirror

I see the lies, the pain, my cries

Who else notices

Does anyone else see me the way I do

An imperfect girl in an imperfect world

Dreaming for perfection just like James Gatz

Wishing for a better mirror to show me what I want to see

My expectations, always too high

I fight and plee for what is rightfully mine

But it always slips away

Because of those who call themselves Christians

Those thieves, those liars, those I must still love

For my God tells me I must

I am sick and tired of dreaming those damn dreams

That will never come true

Where is the shooting star? 

Maybe we were never meant to know

Maybe we are supposed to be disappointed

So when our dreams come along 

Everything will be worth it

The pain will fade away into dust

So smal, no one would be able to see it

Not even God

But Hey

That's just another dream
