Beautiful Daydream
by Ghost Helwig

Edd
It was stupid of me to think you'd come around
To think one day you'd want to be with me
I should've known better, been smarter, tried harder
So I wouldn't be feeling this way now
-------
You always made yourself perfectly clear
Yelling your opinions in my ear
So why did I deceive myself?
I never thought I could but now I'm here
-------
You were never the type to let me dream
Not to imply that you were ever mean
But I think you know precisely what I mean
You were not the one to lead me to dream
-------
I did all of this to me
Hoping and praying and not letting it be
So once again if I find myself alone
I have only myself to blame for this cold
-------
It was a beautiful daydream but I should've known better
It was a holy trinity that could not last forever
It was a way for me to fight off the darkness in my life
But I should've known better, because you want a wife
You want a normal life

Always trying so hard to be the best
Now I'm lying on the floor, beaten like the rest
He thinks this is the way I want to be
The villain inside screams out for him to let me be
-------
He was never the type to just let things rest
Always gotta know, gotta put us to the test
Like I know what I want when I don't know who I am
This is no way for our friendship to end
-------
He should've known better, should've let me go
I'll never be the guy who's nice or willing to be slow
It's all or nothing, that's what you've gotta be
And he deserves so much better than that part of me
-------
So I lied, big deal, what's he staring for?
I'm not gonna tell him what he needs to hear to not walk out my door
He can go, I never wanted him here
I yell "wait!" but he left too fast and he can't hear
-------
It was a beautiful daydream but I knew better
It was a holy trinity that I knew couldn't last forever
It was a way for me to fend off the rage in my life
But he should've known better, 'cause he can't be my wife
I want a normal life
-------
Both
It was a beautiful daydream I couldn't keep
It was a way to fight off nightmares as I sleep
It was a holy trinity that kept at bay the strife
But I should've known better, because he can't be my life
A man can't be a wife
And though it cuts worse than a knife-
That's not a normal life
