In the midst of a dream that had seemed oh so real
I awoke in a sweat and trembling with fear
For it found me alone, so empty, so cold
I thought that you'd promised to always be here

I reached for your hand, even screamed out your name
All in vain though as you were nowhere to be found
In that moment, anything of you could have settled me so
A kiss, your touch, the smell of your perfume, even a sound

So I crawled out of bed and paced the floor
Trying to figure out just what to do
Or if it even mattered anyway
You may not have kept your promises, but I would, for I just couldn't go on without you

From the top of my dresser, I picked up a frame
A picture of happier times, think it was taken just last year
But my smile is quickly replaced with confusion
And on the glass I drop one single tear

This photograph holds but one image, not two
And wait, I don't believe my eyes - what's that I see
Still somewhat confused but laughing now - look right there in my bed
Thank God, there you are - No! - No, wait, that's me

What the hell's going on and what is this place
Frantic, I shake me to interrupt this lucid dream
And I sit upright in bed, yet this me's still not dead
And we stare deeply into each other's eyes and we Scream

Has the whole life that I've lived, so far, been a dream
Were you just the one beautiful thing put there?
If so, close your eyes where ever you are, and both of us here will too
Meet me once more in the darkness, I'll never awake again, I swear
