same old dream

i sit in darkness, dreaming of you
and all the things you say and do.
oh how i wish, i wish i could ignore you
then i wouldn't cry like i do.

if i never get my hopes up,
i'll never be let down.
if i never try to smile
i'll somehow lose this frown.

once i went and said hello.
why i did, i do not know.
when you said, "hi how are you?"
i knew that what i felt was true.

if i never get my hopes up,
i'll never be let down.
if i never try to smile
i'll somehow lose this frown.

now i see you everyday.
you and i go out and play.
i held you once, now what can i do?
all my dreams have finally come true.

if i never get my hopes up,
i'll never be let down.
if i never try to smile
i'll somehow lose this frown.

dammit, how many songs do we have about girls??? this is another emo-pop song complaining of a love never realized. a little optimistic about the future but always realizing that high hopes lead to long falls. a good realist song while still touching on the fact that we can never give up our childish hopes, they just keep popping into our heads beyond our conscious control, i guess. ah well, the vicious circle continues.
