Dreams lyrics
by Allison Eide
[Verse 1]
I have a dream and it won't go away
A recurring nightmare that I don't escape
It haunts me all night, it follows me all day, it's all I see
I see myself with a ball on a court
I give it my all, but I fall through the floor
My teammates fly past me without flinching, I hate these dreams
'Cause I know (I know) what they mean (What they mean)
It's never hard to see
[Chorus]
I am scared to death I'll never be good enough
Trophies fill my shelf, yet I always lose to myself
If I could win and win and win and never come up short again
I'll never be thе best 'cause I always seem to lose to mysеlf
[Post-Chorus]
(Ba-da, ba-da, ba-da)
[Verse 2]
I always thought I was self-sufficient
But turns out I just can't take a compliment 'cause I don't need validation
And I swear that I'm happy, I'm grateful, I'm content, I'm fine
[Chorus]
But I am scared to death I'll never be good enough
Trophies fill my shelf, yet I always lose to myself
If I could win and win and win and never come up short again
I'll never be the best 'cause I always seem to lose to myself
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh
Oh, oh
[Bridge]
You're good enough, you're good enough
You're good enough (Am I enough?)
You're good enough, you're good enough
You're good enough (Am I enough?)
You're good enough, you're good enough
You're good enough (Ooh)
You're good enough, you're good enough
You're good enough (Oh)
[Chorus]
I am scared to death I'll never be good enough
Trophies fill my shelf, yet I always lose to myself
If I could win and win and win and never come up short again
I'll never be the best 'cause I always seem to lose—
No, I'll never be the best 'cause I always seem to lose—
[Outro]
I don't have to be the best 'cause I trust that I'm enough as myself
