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

Eddy

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
