Lost Dreams

To cover the pain, to hide lost dreams,
I laugh and smile and play
But deep inside it hurts so much
My hopes now so far away

I used to have my life planned out
Even crossed the t's and dotted the i's
And just because the year has been bad
I've lost my hopes with all the lies

I never thought i'd understand
What it meant to lose my dreams
But now i've lost them, they've all faded away
And nothing is what it seems

I's love to go back and change the year
To start again, anew
Because now i realise what's important
Before i had no clue

But it's too late, I've lost all hope
All i ever wanted
I wish i never had to grow up
I want to stay a kid.
