Dreams in the dark

Word: « Yeah… Mama, I hope you hear me… I’ve been chasing dreams in a world so cold. I was just a kid, didn’t know I’d grow old… Without you. Oh-oh… Yeah… I was seventeen with a dream in my head, Writing all these songs while I lay in my bed. Mama worked nights just to keep us alive, Told me, “Keep on dreaming, you’re gonna survive.” Daddy came home with a bottle again, Screaming at the walls like they were his friends. I was in my room with my headphones loud, Dreaming ‘bout the day I’d make Mama proud. I wanted big stages, lights in the sky, Wanted to see happy tears in her eyes. Buy her a house somewhere close to the sea, Tell her, “Everything you did was for me.” But life ain’t a movie, there’s no perfect scene, Sometimes the nightmare destroys the dream. One cold morning, everything changed, Mama was gone, nothing felt the same. And I still hear your voice at night, Telling me everything will be alright. But the stars don’t shine like they used to do, And every single dream reminds me of you. I’m chasing dreams in the dark tonight, Trying to find my way back to the light. Mama, can you hear me from the other side? I’ve been losing myself, I’ve been losing my mind. Oh-oh, I’m falling apart, Got a thousand broken pieces in my heart. I just wanted to make you proud, Now I’m screaming your name in an empty house. Daddy’s on the couch with a drink in his hand, Says he understands, but he don’t understand. Empty bottles lying all over the floor, I don’t recognize my family anymore. I stopped going out, stopped answering calls, Got a picture of my mama hanging on the wall. Friends kept saying, “Man, you’re gonna be fine,” But they never saw the pain behind my eyes. Started taking drugs just to silence the noise, Trying to forget I was a broken little boy. Thought I found peace in a temporary high, But the pain came back every single night. Now I’m missing days, I don’t know where they went, All my money gone and my confidence spent. Got a notebook full of songs I never made, And a thousand promises I couldn’t save. I remember Mama saying, “Don’t lose your way,” Now I’m scared of who I see every day. I wanted to shine, wanted everyone to see, But the kid with the dreams barely recognizes me. I’m chasing dreams in the dark tonight, Trying to find my way back to the light. Mama, can you hear me from the other side? I’ve been losing myself, I’ve been losing my mind. Oh-oh, I’m falling apart, Got a thousand broken pieces in my heart. I just wanted to make you proud, Now I’m screaming your name in an empty house. I found an old letter underneath my bed, With a couple little words that my mama said. “Baby, when the world gets heavy on your soul, Remember you’re worth more than silver and gold. You don’t need the fame, don’t need all the lights, I just wanna know that you’re doing alright. And if you ever fall, you can always begin, Being strong doesn’t mean you always gotta win.” I sat there crying with the letter in my hands, Thinking ‘bout the boy with a million plans. All the wasted nights, all the things I regret, All the dreams that I haven’t forgotten yet. So I called my friend, said, “I need some help,” ‘Cause I’m tired of fighting everything myself. I don’t know tomorrow, don’t know where I’ll be, But I’m trying to become who she believed I’d be. Mama, I’m sorry for the roads I’ve taken, For the promises I left there breaking. I’m still your boy underneath these scars, Still looking for you when I look at the stars. And I know that healing takes some time, But maybe there’s a future I can find. I can’t bring you back, no matter what I do, But I can keep the dreams I shared with you. I’m chasing dreams through the dark tonight, Maybe one day I’ll make it to the light. Mama, if you hear me from the other side, I’m still holding on, I’m still gonna try. Oh-oh, I’m healing my heart, Trying to put together everything that fell apart. I still wanna make you proud, Even when your voice is just a memory now. Remember that little boy? The one who promised you the world? He’s still here, Mama… Still dreaming… Still trying… I love you. Forever. »
