Expired Love

I am giving up one of my dreams today
I found out I can't always get my way
And sometimes a dream isn't worth what you pay
So I'm giving up one of my dreams today
When we are children, we look to the sky
We want everything, I'm afraid to ask why 


And I saw the sparkling fish in the sea
I dreamed I would find one to swim next to me
And this cold love, and it's worth every reason
Love is the cool and the warmth in each season
But how does one love? And what does one do? 
When the dream that you have, doesn't want to pick you


But ooh-oh, don't cry for me
It's just one dream less on my shoulder
And ooh-oh, dad says giving up dreams, 
it's just a sign I'm getting older
He was a stoner, and unlike a light
And when he would blaze, I would sing songs by his side
But my dream takes two strong hearts that will fight
And he doesn't dream, he just sleeps at night


And ooh-oh, don't cry for me
It's just one dream less on my shoulder
And ooh-oh, dad says giving up dreams, 
it's just a sign I'm getting older
Oh they say too much smoking will change your taste
Maybe that's why he's kissing another girls face
But I never dreamed of second place
So I'd rather quit, then continue to race


And ooh-oh, don't cry for me
It's just one dream less on my shoulder
And ooh-oh, dad says giving up dreams, 
it's just a sign I'm getting older
And ooh-oh, I am singing on stage, 
but it doesn't mean I know much better


Ooh- oh, you are probably like me
Some days, dreaming, and some days a quitter
I am giving up one of my dreams today
After I hugged him and begged him to stay
And after my dream drowned out to a whisper, 
after I burned all the photo booth pictures
And after I erased our names from the sky
Stopped wondering how and asking why


Oh I wish I had words to encourage and inspire


But the truth is I'm wrecked, and I'm sad and I'm tired
I'm a loser in love, and abandoner of dreams
And today I gave up the one for him and me
