"I Once Had A Dream" lyrics

Dream, I once had a dream
But then came 18
With all her friends to shut me off
And put me in my place
No more time to waste
Put on a straight face
Stay in my lane
And make sure that I repeat every day

I used to smile a lot more when I was in 3rd grade
I only cared about my friends and beyblades
My teachers let me live inside my own utopia
I'll never get back this feeling of euphoria

True, none of it was true
I was young and lied to
Grownups all end up on the boulevard of broken dreams

Dream, I once had a dream
But then came 18
With all her friends to shut me off
And put me in my place
No more time to waste
Put on a straight face
Stay in my lane
Eat, sleep, work, repeat, yeah that's the way

Came a time when I realized that
I can't go back
And I'm off track
Maybe plans have changed
Or maybe I don't feel the same
All I am is a walking dead man
With a life so bland
And a washed up band
Threw my passions out the door
Maybe that's what's got me feeling down

I'm 'bout to break down
Get lost and not found
But truth is I cannot afford to take care of myself
Can't keep up the pace
I'm losing the race
I dream of the days when I was young and had a...

Dream, I once had a dream
But then came 18
With all her friends to shut me off
And put me in my place
No more time to waste
Put on a straight face
Stay in my lane
Work, sleep, work, repeat, yeah that's the way

I had a dream
Eat, sleep, work, repeat, yeah that's the way
I had a dream
Work, work, work, repeat, yeah that's the way

Dream, I once had a dream
But then came 18
With all her friends to shut me off
And put me in my place
No more time to waste
Put on a straight face
Stay in my lane
Work, sleep, work, repeat, yeah that's the way

I had a dream
Eat, sleep, work, repeat, yeah that's the way
I had a dream
And now I gotta fake my greatest smile
