Beautiful Mess

Somewhere along the way,
Reality becomes a dream

Can’t recognize myself, everything’s changed
This view is unforgiving, don’t know what’s to come

Tell me what happens when the hopeless romantic
Becomes the hopeful cynic.

Please clear my head, I’m down on my knees
Maybe broken, but I’m strong
Reality is just a story, it’s a story of want and need

My dreams and reality, they dance together.
When the timing’s right, with each other, let’s meet again.
In a different time, with hope and who I truly am.

Life imagined takes over.
What would love do with no inclusions?
Imperfect clarity or a happy ending?

Let life and dreams dance.
I’m looking and searching for me.
In this beautiful mess, I’m looking for you.
Can you tell me what happens? Can you tell me?
What happens when the hopeless romantic,
Becomes the hopeful cynic?
