Translation
Bilingual
I built a castle out of trees and pretty seas
I woke up and it was missing
It was a dream, it was a dream
ย
I love the woman you've turned out to be
An ideal thing, I woke up, she was different
Oh wow, it wasn't real
It was a dream
ย
I've been saying things I don't believe
I've been doing things that just ain't me, it wasn't me
But knowing that this can't continue
But I keep on living the same way
Tied to a future that's so far ahead
I've left the past and I'd rather pretend
It isn't real, it isn't real
A version of something erases the mirror
So I change my appearance
And go out for dinner with people
It hurt to be noticed
And they talk just alike and they argue for thrills
It was just never too real
I've been saying things I don't believe
I've been doing things that just ain't me, it wasn't me
But knowing that this can't continue
But I'll keep on living the same way
But you don't know me then
For I was nobody's friend
I wandered to open more, to be in good company
Go around breaking things
I never think about fixing
Can't let it go now, won't let it go
I know that in another type of life I see a movie
It's unsustainable
I've been practicing on a new accent through stories
Might be more relatable
But I end up with the same damn clothes on
I thought I was so individual
Went to the 80's, make sure you take some pictures
You know it's all about the visual
I've been saying things I don't believe
I've been doing things that just ain't me
But knowing that this can't continue
But I'll keep on living the same way
I've been saying things I don't believe
I've been doing things that just ain't me
ย
Hoping independence
But I'll keep on living the same way
