Hopes.

Have you ever heard of a thing called love?
Where you wish and hope for stupid things
And have just one person your mind thinks of?
The kind of feeling you get when the world around you doesn't matter
Where everything ends with a happily ever after
I used to believe in that until reality came
The world crashed down and put my thoughts to shame
It was all going so bad day after day
Where no one really pays attention to anything I say
You may have been there for me once or twice
But no I know you came as a friend
One who I could trust and lean on
But that's just exactly where it ends
We stuck up for each other not knowing I'd fall hard
But none of that mattered when you stole my heart
I trusted you to keep it but you couldn't hear the things I wanted to say
Things like how I hoped and wished that maybe you'd feel the same way

Day in and day out my hopes have let me down
Since you feel nothing when I'm around
Christmas is right around the corner
And God only knows I have one wish
To be with you forever is a more than enough gift
But not everyone's wish comes true so why should I be an exception
When everyone else doesn't get what they want, I shouldn't have a better reason
But something in me, there's this spark of hope
That maybe someday we can be together
But lately, I don't see that happening, I can't see past this fog
The fog that's been disguising my feelings, the one I can't get through
But trust me all these dreams, they all concern you
You and your perfect flaws and that bright smile
You and your bright eyes, soft touch and that unique style
So many things about you make my day
So many things about you just make me say
Say that you're the only one for me
You're the only one I need
'Coz you're the one who makes me think twice
The one that can make me better than I'll ever be

But when the worse becomes the worst, the world wouldn't matter
Standing by your door, you're the one I'm after
But as I say these words, my mind tells me it won't happen
But me heart tells me "Don't worry, just keep your arms wide open"
So I'm hoping for the best, I'm climbing over fences
Say whatever you want but I'm taking chances
'Coz life isn't always fair and I won't let that rule my world
I'll live day after day hoping I'll be the only girl
That keeps you awake and deprive you of sleep
The one you can trust
And promise to keep the secrets you want me to keep
I'll be keeping my hopes up not hoping for a let down
But if it can't be helped, I'll crack into pieces without a sound
I'm painting pictures in my head
But some of them feel out of place
Dreaming to be with you, I just can't keep a straight a face
So as the days roll past me
So many things run through my head
But for now I set them aside
As I lay me down to rest
I might have wild hopes and wishes
But I still have a sense of what's real
Having cliche moments and feeling all those redundant thrills
We've got only eight days 'til Christmas and I've finally found out
That it won't be so bad anymore since I've got someone to smile about
So since gifts are overrated and not all dreams come true
I keep my chin up and stay confident as I leave it all to you
So make me smile show me that happiness is all it takes
Show me that our friendship is real and nothing was fake
So if you ask me about my dreams, I'll be patient with you with all my heart
As I send you through a journey from the very start.
