Dreams Die Hard

When you're 18, you think it'll last forever

You don't think about how messy it could get

You let yourself fall, like there's a net to catch you

Before all the walls and the trust become an issue

When you're 18, you make promises that you can't keep

There's a space on my finger where a ring would fit perfectly

The universe had different plans for you and me

Nothing ever broke my heart, like our future falling apart

Nothing ever left a scar, like seeing you in someone else's arms

And I'll live through that part

But dreams die hard

When you're 18, you think things will last forever

Yeah, I let myself get wrapped around you

And maybe it's better if you and I are severed

Than trying to untangle two vines that grew together

We're not 18, but sometimes I wish we still were (ah-ah)

And even though I know that it's been over for a while

The smoke lasts so much longer than the fire

Nothing ever broke my heart, like our future falling apart

Nothing ever left a scar, like seeing you in someone else's arms

And I'll live through that part

But dreams die hard

I know I have to let you go

I guess now we'll never know

How we went so wrong

Still dreaming long after you're gone

I know I have to let you go

I guess now we'll never know, how we went so wrong

I'm dreaming long after you're gone

When you're 18, you think it'll last forever

You don't think about how messy it could get

Nothing ever broke my heart, like our future falling apart

Nothing ever left a scar, like seeing you in someone else's arms

And I'll live through that part

But dreams die hard
