I wake up in a dream where I'm dreaming you're by my side I hold your hand and pull you close I can feel your heart beating against mine I brush your hair from your neck and start to whisper in your ear "I lo..." And then the dream is broken as you dissappear. I roll over to see your ghost walking out of my room I try to call it back by finishing the words I had almost said But no sound escapes my mouth except an echo of the dead I feel my blood racing with my dreams courage turning cold I hear a bird singing and beating its wings against my ribs Shh little bird If I could I would set you free I know you're too beautiful for me I close my eyes again and try to dream within a dream But the words I never finished speaking haunt my empty room And I find myself unable to even write them out The words keep repeating The bird keeps signing But my doubts keep drowning their beauty out
