Matt Nathanson - Continue Dreaming lyrics

I shouldn't need to wish that I am all I am not

I shouldn't need to always offer you my thoughts, but I do

And I've opened myself up to the wrong and felt that pain

And I've opened myself all up to you and felt the same

Please don't explain, just let me continue dreaming

You understand what hurts me but I was the one who made that known

And now it seems my time is over and I need some time alone

And I've opened myself up to the wrong and felt that pain

And I've opened myself all up to you and felt the same

Please don't explain, just let me continue dreaming

Why must I be affected

by the words of those who know not what they've said?

You're no longer someone I'll remember

but someone I'll regret.
