Lyrics

EVERYBODY DREAMS


verse 1 I had a dream when I was a little girl
I dreamt one day that I?d live in a better world
When I was four, my daddy walked right out the door
And to this day I can?t trust anyone no-more

chorus Everybody cries, everybody screams, everybody aches
I hope someone hurts bad as me
Everybody?s low, everybody?s high, everybody dreams
But too damn many dreams run dry

verse 2 My mom and I, we tried to make everything right
As best we could, we?ve made it this far, knock on wood
But it hasn?t been any less frightening
And I can?t pretend that I wish that this was happening

chorus: Everybody cries, everybody screams, everybody aches
I hope someone hurts bad as me
Everybody?s low, everybody?s high, everybody dreams
But too damn many dreams run dry

Bridge: And life just slips away and with the passing days
I just can?t help but think to myself
That, baby, it?s a shame we just can?t start again
I know there?s more to life than ourselves

chorus: (with key change)
Everybody cries, everybody screams, everybody aches
I hope someone hurts bad as me
Everybody?s low, everybody?s high, everybody dreams
But too damn many dreams run dry
