Man, you really know how to get someone down Everything was fine, until you came around And I've been chasing after dreamers in the clouds After all, wasn't I the one who said To keep your feet on the ground? Man, you really brought me back down Hold on to hope if you got it Don't let it go for nobody And they say that dreaming is free But I wouldn't care what it cost me You got me tied up, but I stay close to the window And I talk to myself about the places that I used to go I'm hoping someday maybe I'll just float away And I'll forget every cynical thing you say When you gonna hear me out? Man, you really bring me down Hold on to hope if you got it Don't let it go for nobody And they say that dreaming is free But I wouldn't care what it cost me Reality will break your heart Survival will not be the hardest part It's keeping all your hopes alive When all the rest of you has died So let it break your heart And hold on to hope if you got it Don't let it go for nobody Hold on to hope if you got it Don't let it go for nobody And they say that dreaming is free But I wouldn't care what it cost me
