And take what I could take
   You thought you'd found yourself a dream that wouldn't end
                      The moment you awake
            I don't want any strings, you'd say to me
            Again and again, somehow I still believed
       That even while I was reading you between the lines
                  I could see me running blind

            I spent too many of my days too far away
                   And felt the toll it takes
        And only learned how much you're capable of pain
                  And who's the first it breaks
           I've had too many strings, you'd say to me
     It hurts too much to break them when the feelings leave
        Much as I thought I'd met the problem eye to eye
                  I could see me running blind

      I guess where you're from, dreams have little mystery
                    They make them every day
            It seems a whole lot simpler than reality
                   And starts to feel the same
