Honest Dreamer Lyrics

When I was younger

I had these dreams

That I'd grow older and do the things

That I claimed I would

Go to the parties and sign my name

Look in the mirror

And see the face

Of a wiser me

And be someone

I can be proud of

Will the time spent on this

Ever be enough?

Maybe it's meant to be

But not today

Today I'm someone else

Today I'm discouraged,

Disheartened by the mistakes I never made

Walking out on opportunities

I don't regret to this day

If I could, I would go back in time

And tell myself

"You'll be satisfied

But those dreams you have

They won't come to pass"

I will follow my heart

I know it may lead me astray

I will follow the truth

Or the one that I once knew

Then the bridge collapsed

Under my feet

I'm done being stepped on

And walked all over

That girl I see in the mirror

I don't know her

I realize if you want to be heard

You've got to speak into the mic

They won't listen if there's nothing to be said

It's all been done before

Authentic, genuine

All too rare

"Play what they wanna hear"

Well I don't care

I know it's meant to be and it's today

Today I am myself

Today I am free of the filter

They put on me

When I was younger

I had these dreams

And now that I'm older

I do the things

All in honesty
