Your skin is dappled in dark leaves

Shadows cast by the moon behind the trees

Windows cracked lets in a cool breeze

Wonderin' what the hell's come over me

Should I follow my dreams or follow my heart?

How you've torn them both apart

Moonlight makin' its way in

It's not what's bright that's keepin' me awake

I close the curtains, shut the blinds

But they're busted and the fabric's thin

Nothing lasts forever, it don't matter how well it's made

Should I follow my dreams or follow my heart?

How you've torn them both apart

Should I follow my dreams or follow my heart?

And I'm hopin' that you won't be woken when my engine starts

Oh why

Won't somebody please tell me why I feel this way?

All I know how to say is

I'm sorry, it's over

I don't wanna talk about it

I'll be alright, mm

It hurts when I'm sober

I don't wanna talk about it

I'll be just fine, mm

But never has it ever been this hard to say goodbye

Should I follow my dreams or follow my heart?

How you've torn them both apart

Should I follow my dreams or follow my heart?
