Sugar-Coated Lullabies

When the world fades to grey
and you’re just trying to live the day without going insane
there’s so many ways to go and paths to take
like you’re stuck in a crowded room,
memories consume you and
leave you breathless on your feet
I really want to meet you

In my dreams I hold you close to me,
as you whisper softly in my ear
sing me sugar-coated lullabies
and rock me to sleep every night

But when I wake to find you’ve gone again
off with someone else again
I know deep in my heart this is the end, but not in my head
then like you’re stuck in a crowded room,
memories consume you and
leave you breathless on your feet
I really want to love you

In my dreams I hold you close to me,
as you whisper softly in my ear
sing me sugar-coated lullabies
and rock me to sleep every night

In my dream I told her
so, go put makeup on your pretty face
it won’t hide the scars
you’re lucky God gave you that pretty face
‘cause that is all you are

She’s perfect for you, isn’t she?
More than I could ever be and
I’m stuck in this crowded room,
memories consume me and
leave me breathless on my feet
breathless on my feet
I want my dream to come true

In my dreams I hold you close to me,
as you whisper softly in my ear
sing me sugar-coated lullabies
and rock me to sleep every night
but that will never be enough
so let my world fade to grey, I really want to love you...

End
