Lyrics
I had a dream
The singer had a dream.
I got everything I wanted
In the dream, the singer achieved everything they desired.
Not what you'd think
The reality of the dream is different from what others might expect.
And if I'm being honest
The singer admits the truth about their feelings.
It might've been a nightmare
The dream might have been distressing or unsettling.
To anyone who might care
The singer acknowledges that others may not care about their struggles.
And you say, "As long as I'm here
A comforting statement expressing protection and care from someone.
No one can hurt you
Reassurance that the presence of the person will prevent harm.
Don't wanna lie here
Expressing discomfort with the current situation.
But you can learn to
Encouragement to learn and grow from the challenges.
If I could change
The singer desires to change something.
The way that you see yourself
Suggesting a need to alter the perception of oneself.
You wouldn't wonder why you hear
If the perception changes, there would be no doubt about one's worth.
They don't deserve you"
Others would recognize the value and significance of the person.
I tried to scream
The singer tried to express themselves.
But my head was underwater
Feelings of being overwhelmed or suffocated.
They called me weak
Others criticized the singer for their vulnerability.
Like I'm not just somebody's daughter
The criticism disregards the singer's identity as someone's daughter.
Coulda been a nightmare
The dream could have been a frightening experience.
But it felt like they were right there
Despite the dream's potential nightmare, someone supportive was present.
I had a dream
Repetition of the dream scenario.
I got everything I wanted
Reiteration of achieving everything desired in the dream.
But when I wake up, I see
A shift in perspective upon waking up and realizing someone supportive is present.
You with me
The presence of the supportive person is comforting.
And you say, "As long as I'm here
Reassurance of protection in the wakeful state.
No one can hurt you
Reiteration that the supportive presence prevents harm.
Don't wanna lie here
Expressing discomfort with the current wakeful situation.
But you can learn to
Encouragement to learn and grow from wakeful challenges.
If I could change
The desire for self-change persists.
The way that you see yourself
Continued emphasis on altering self-perception.
You wouldn't wonder why you hear
If self-perception changes, there would be no doubt about one's worth.
They don't deserve you"
Others would recognize the value and significance of the person in the wakeful state.
If I knew it all then would I do it again?
Reflecting on past actions and decisions.
Would I do it again?
Contemplating whether the past actions were worthwhile.
If they knew what they said would go straight to my head
If others knew the impact of their words, would they choose different ones?
What would they say instead?
Considering how others' words affect the singer's mindset.
