She never knows the right words to say,
but she tries so hard,
laughing too long and in all the wrong places.
She overhears
some words not meant for her ears
and then pretends to smile.
And she dreams (that she can make them like her)
And she dreams (she's so beautiful)
She gets so lost in these scenes
and sometimes she forgets they're only dreams.
Her mother calls so she tells a lie
about how she has met the sweetest guy.
She dresses up,
with thoughts of romance and love
to carry her away.
And she dreams (that she can make him love her)
And she dreams (she's so beautiful)
She gets so lost in these scenes
and she dreams,
and she dreams,
and she dreams.
