OLD DREAMS

I locked it up, I hold the key 
I suffocated memories 
By finally breaking free
Of my past 
Didn't plan on looking back  

When you asked me to share your life 
Wondered what I left behind 
I told you not a thing
I can use  
I won’t let the painful through

I sighed…
Old dreams
Old dreams are all you’ll find

~~~*Chorus*~~~
The little girl who cried a lot
Insecure, hopelessly lost
The teen, so full of dreams
That slowly died
Mistakes I made, just growing up
Bad love that made believing tough
That’s why I left that life
So far behind
Old dreams...
Old dreams are all you’ll find
~~*~~

You kissed my ear, and whispered soft
Love, those dreams are never lost
It’s when you give them up
That they die
Baby bring those dreams to life

~~~*Lyrical Bridge*~~~
I've unlocked it
I’m dealing with the past
Living it, devoid of love
Was all that made it bad
I can even laugh at things
That I once labeled sad
My new dreams, are my old dreams
I just had to want them back
~~*~~

~~~*Chorus*~~~
The little girl who cried a lot
Insecure, hopelessly lost
The teen, so full of dreams
That slowly died
Mistakes I made just growing up
Bad love that made believing tough
That’s why I left that life
So far behind
Old dreams are all you’ll find
~~*~~
But old dreams
Old dreams revived
Old dreams can be new dreams
They just need redefined
~~*~~
