What you want isn't what you get

I finally close my eyes and it never ever fails,
this wonderful dream won't ever seem to end.
The sun comes up the story dies, and I don't even know why.

All I need is someone like you burning through me.
It's not fair, 'cause it don't feel like sleep,
when I'm this alive I believe in you.

It's so hard to give you up, but too easy to pretend.
It feels so real and I want to scream, but I know the fault lies with me.

I believe in you, but what you want is never what you get.
