Breathing in Broken Dreams

I'm breathing in broken dreams…

I know you exist
I know that you're real
I know that you don't know me
But I can live with that

You're different
You're unique
You're unadulterated innocence
You're untouched
You're unharmed
That's what it appears to me

Are you just a fantasy?
Breathing in my love
Without knowing it.
Are you matter of fact?
Are you what you seem?
Here I sit alone,
I'm breathing in broken dreams.

I've found who you areI've had dreams
Nothing can go right
In my life, it seems.
Something about you
Is different from the rest.
I need you to know
That I glance at you.

Don't look away,
And yet you never do.
Don't look my way,
And you don't.
Don't leave me here,
When I'm all alone.
I find I miss you
On the days you're never "here".

Are you just a fantasy?
Breathing in my love
Without knowing it.
Are you matter of fact?
Are you what you seem?
Here I sit all alone,
I'm breathing in broken dreams.

I just want something to go right
Tired of staying up all night
Waiting and dreaming of you
How can I do this to myself?
When I don't even know you?
I want to pretend I do,
But I need you to play along.

I never thought I'd feel like this,
Again after what's happened.
I don't want to get hurt again,
But when I do, it's the past.
I'll let you go, if you promise not to go.
I just need to know that you know I'm here.
(not that it matters…)

Are you just a fantasy?
Breathing in my love
Without knowing it.
Are you matter of fact?
Are you what you seem?
Here I sit all alone,
I'm breathing in broken dreams.

I'm breathing in broken dreams
When I never see your face.
Why do I do this to myself?
Am I really lonely?
Am I really desperate?
Do I really want to love?
I found something in you
That I just can't ignore…

You're something new
You're something right
And I just can't give up.
I'm too shy when I get to you,
But looking at you is enough.
I want to know you.
I want to hear you.
I love the way you speak.
I want to understand you.
I want to be around you.
But it's too much to ask,
So I'll let you go.

Are you just a fantasy?Breathing in my love
Without knowing it.
Are you matter of fact?
Are you what you seem?
Here I sit all alone,
I'm breathing in broken dreams.
