Let me be a dreamer...
Let me float...
I've been told that I should settle down
Find a boy who won't let me down
But every time I try, I end up on the ground
And I'm tired of the sound
Of apologies that never stick
Of promises that break too quick
I'd rather be alone with my own tricks
Than learn to love a new set of tricks
So let me be the one who walks away
Before the tears can find my face
I've built a castle out of air and lace
And no one's gonna tear it down today
I'm closing up my porcelain heart
Locking all the doors, throwing out the key
You can keep your love, your games, your art
No one's gonna kill the dreamer in me
Some might say I'm running scared
That I never really dared
To let somebody see the mess I am
But darling, I've already ran
Through every door, down every hall
And I've never found a love that didn't fall
So call me crazy, call me cold
At least I'm not afraid to be alone
So let me be the one who walks away
Before the tears can find my face
I've built a castle out of air and lace
And no one's gonna tear it down today
I'm closing up my porcelain heart
Locking all the doors, throwing out the key
You can keep your love, your games, your art
No one's gonna kill the dreamer in me
I'm not saying I'll never fall again...
I'm just saying I know the way it ends
And I've got dreams to chase, worlds to see
So if you don't mind...
Just let me be...
Let me be a dreamer...
Let me float...
No one's gonna kill the dreamer in me...
