Dream Away Lyrics

[Verse 1: Cornelia Jakobs]
Had to hold up a fence
Keep a comfort distance
'Cuz I learnt that the closer I get
The bigger the pain in my chest
I refused you in a way I could never forget
And you never tried to make me
So I never tried to forgive

[Pre-Chorus: Cornelia Jakobs]
Fourteen years you been running from here
And I still try to exist
With the fact that you didn't bother her
Well are you happy now mother?

[Chorus: Cornelia Jakobs]
Wish I could tell you everythin'
All the things I never said to you
Wеll it's easy to say
But if I had one last little talk with you
I would to try to cross thе line you drew
Oh, Dream Away

[Verse 2: Cornelia Jakobs]
I gave you up long ago
But he did never lose hope
No, he kept on believing in you
He wished for the better in you
Now where cleaning up your desk and all the ѕh¡t that you left
It's weird the flowers you sold
Are still breathing life though you don't

[Pre-Chorus: Cornelia Jakobs]
And I'm not mad 'Cuz of all you did to me
It's not about me at all
No, it's the fact that you left my brother
Well are you happy now mother?

[Chorus: Cornelia Jakobs]
Wish I could tell you everythin'
All the things I never said to you
Well it's easy to say
But if I had one last little talk with you
I would to try to cross the line you drew
Oh, Dream Away
Dream Away

[Bridge: Cornelia Jakobs]
You say it's their fault
They never listen
And what they give you
Is just a way to the grave
And it's my fault
I never answered
Don't understand how
How I could push you away
'Cuz you were never part of any problems
So it's everybody else and what they did to you
And then it's his fault
Because he left you
Like twenty years ago
And what he did to you
And what they did to you
And what I did to you
And what they did to you
And what they did to you
And what they did to you
And what they did to you
And what they did to you

[Chorus: Cornelia Jakobs]
Wish I could tell you everythin'
All the things I never said to you
Well it's easy to say
But if I had one last little talk with you
I would to try to cross the line you drew
Oh, Dream Away, Ooh
