You started staring at the walls again And the pictures turned back into empty frames Your sense will go before your looks will leave you And in time the ones you love will all leave too No dreams are not how they seemed back when you were young You lost your way and you couldn't overcome The times you'd hide, what's been building up inside 'Cause dreams aren't how they seemed when you were young And I followed you for miles through foreign sights To the house where all your demons came to life And I saw fear and innocence in children eyes Then your face changed and I ran back into the night No dreams are not how they seemed back when you were young You lost your way and you couldn't overcome The times you'd hide, what's been building up inside 'Cause dreams aren't how they seemed when you were young I saw the colours drained from your veins, through the teeth of leeches Dreams are not how they seemed back when you were young You lost your way and you couldn't overcome The times you'd hide, what's been building up inside 'Cause dreams aren't how they seemed when you were young No they're not what they used to be
