Giving Up On Dreaming
(Markus Rill/Phil Madeira)

Even after all this time
you’re still on my mind
it’s not makin’ too much sense
so I’m getting’ off the fence
‘tween the fiction and the truth
I gotta do what I must do

I’m giving up on dreaming
dreams just don’t come true
giving up on hoping
hope is much too cruel
I made up my mind to leave behind
what can only leave me blue
giving up on dreaming, givin’ up on you

Since the day you walked away
I’ve been hangin’ on keepin’ the faith
prayin’ I’d see you returnin’
ah, but nothing’s happening,
nothin’ but the yearnin’
Guess it’s time I face the facts
you won’t be comin’ back

I’m giving up on dreaming
dreams just don’t come true
giving up on hoping
hope is much too cruel
I made up my mind to leave behind
what can only leave me blue
giving up on dreaming, givin’ up on you

I’m gonna take a match and set fire
to this mansion in my mind
I’m gonna burn up every photograph
and every thought of you and I

I’m giving up on dreaming
dreams just don’t come true
giving up on hoping
hope is much too cruel
I made up my mind to leave behind
what can only leave me blue
giving up on dreaming, givin’ up on you
