hopes and dreams - jakob hallett lyrics

hopes and dreams lyrics
perfectly poised between pleasure and pain
such was the feeling of being totally free
a strangely delightful emotion, like playing with a scab
just living my best life with my little lady
as we sat by a fire in her little prefab
nothing meant more to me than what we had…

ah, but she was so smart, so much more than me
that she could have been anything
except the kind of person that i wanted her to be
i would’ve liked to have given her a diamond ring
and no doubt she would’ve thrown it back at mе
she just took what she wanted and lеft the scene

do you know, i miss times when i used to mean something?
our love for me, well me at least, used to be my everything
but now, i can’t seem to get rid of these needles and pins

she left with no prewarning, it was so sudden
that it seemed as if it was easy for her
it made me question our entire relationship
ever since its inception, i had never registered
all the times she gave me nothing but lip
when she said she loved me, that was just a fib…

how could she not see that love that i offered her
as it showed through every crack in my voice?
i learned sometimes expectations don’t unfurl
the way you expect them to, although it’s not by choice
but that’s no reason to give up or be a churl…
i guess i love her just enough to let her go…
people don’t even know how lucky they all are
no need to naively wish on a shooting star
my heart felt like it had become dispossessed
when i knew that the love of my life was dishonest
and when i was able to see past her biased lies
i looked back to the memory and saw naught but cries…
for that’s how she escaped whenever i pried
so her dark secrets could continue to hide…

i had such ambitions and oh so many dreams
but the world seemed to change every single day
back then, things seemed like they were built to last
and i once felt like i was able to start to pave my way
soon had to say goodbye to the dreams that i’d amassed
when i realised that my future was based on visions of the past…

i now hope and dream that a better world is drawing near
is the cup half full? i ask daily
my answer is if i can make my world less drear
then maybe i am not that bad or even that crazy
if i can turn uncertainty into something clear…
i can put a stop to all of my other fears…

i miss old days working to help my family
it was my god given right to put food on the table
back then that’s all it took to save my sanity
they say if you want a job done right… well, you know the rest
so, to h*ll voting for one more loose end
maybe if i accept the opportunities
i can stop the way this country from going round the bend
and resolve the problems that we face peacefully…
and deal with them diplomatically

so, cast your votes for the best candidate in town
i’m for green energy, a green world all around
i’ll make sure i’ll shut those others mps down
as i care more about the planet than earning pounds
i’ll make a better world for you, if you’d allow
want me to prove it to you? cross that box now

i finally came to understand and feel
i could see the others, looking back at me
it was then i felt my eyes begin to slowly peel
they’re thin, but protective layers back gently
and when i was able to see past the news
i looked back to home and saw nothing but abuse…
as if the government had nothing to lose
oh, britannia has long neglected her dues…
