Castles

I didn't dream about castles
I dreamed about you
I didn't wake up crying
it took a few minutes to
I got myself out of bed
ran a brush through my hair
tried not to think of how
you told me you cared
you looked way too good
standing under streetlight
telling me that something
just didn't feel right
that you really liked me
you don't know what you want
so stick me in limbo
and act nonchalant

say you don't want to hurt me
but then watch me cry
pull the rug from my feet
and see my legs fly
what do you do
when nobody wants you
not even the good guy?

I think this is how
Marilyn Monroe felt
proclaimed to be perfect
but they wanted something else.
you looked serious
and said, "I've had fun"
but stop with that sentence
cause I know the next one

say you don't want to hurt me
but then watch me cry
pull the rug from my feet
and see my legs fly
what do you do
when nobody wants you
not even the good guy?

Well I was happy
it should have been a sign.
To work on my stone face
and saying I'm fine
knowing it'll happen
but all in due time.
It was just a moment
but I liked that you were mine.
but it doesn't matter
no it never does
because

you say you don't want to hurt me
but then watch me cry
pull the rug from my feet
and see my legs fly
what do you do
when nobody wants you
not even the good guy?

I didn't dream about castles
I dreamed about you.
