I’ve seen the dream, and I can’t say I’m enchanted.
I’ve seen what they are intent to call success.
I’d happily trade it for a mere life spent
By your side.
Yet here we stand, tongue-tied and by all abandoned.
I turn to you, and my heart sinks once again.
Though it’s hopeless, I share my true wish.
You just nod.
I see you leaving with nothing to say,
Guarding your feelings and sleeping another day.
Endlessly waiting for love…
Endlessly waiting for someone else to come…
But you’re not mine. And… it hurts to see you happy.
I see the dream, but I’m on the other side.
Pretty Genie, I wish you loved me.
But I’m wrong.
I’m so sorry. You deserve to be enchanted.
I hate that I cannot give you what you need.
Aren’t I pretty? So what’s wrong with me?
Must I change?
And if I change, could I then be all you wanted?
And if I change, could I then love myself too?
