We danced in the shadows, you and I
For a time we had the nights to share
a blackened kiss and a dark embrace
Time has a way of changing things and making enemies out of lovers
promises broken and fantasies left unfulfilled
Beautiful Dreamer, you always wandered around with stars in your eyes
seeing what you wanted and believing lies
You put me on a pedestool and tried to create a goddess out of a whore
All of your illusions lay shattered at your feet
And your dream turned out to be a nightmare in disguise
