I dumped you again
I don't understand
It's happened before
Can't take it no more
 
These foolish games
Always end up in confusion
I'll take you back
Just to leave you once again
 
I died in my dreams
What's that supposed to mean?
Got lost in the fire
I died in my dreams
Reaching out for your hand
My fatal desire
 
I've failed you again
Cause I let you stay
I used to pretend
That I felt OK
 
Just one big lie
Such a perfect illusion
I made you mine
Just to hurt you once again
 
I died in my dreams
What's that supposed to mean?
Got lost in the fire
I died in my dreams
Reaching out for your hand
My fatal desire...
