I used to have me a vision

I'd be wearin' a suit

Makin' a steady livin'

In a big ol' house

With a beautiful life

Smilin' kids and a happy wife

Yeah, I'd tuck them in every night

I'd be the one who got it right

But somewhere between then and now

I lost my way, and I don't know how

My dreams ain't dead

But man they're dyin' slow

Yeah I been fadin'

Everywhere I go

I ain't the man I swore I'd be

I'm just watchin' those dreams

Smother and die inside of me

Been punchin' the clock at a dead-end job

Barely gettin' by, feels like I'm gettin' robbed

Livin' every night at that same damn bar

Glued to that stool, not gettin' too far

Drinkin' down ghosts I never outgrew

Tryna outrun what I can't undo

But that past don't ever fade

And I still fail at everything I do

My dreams ain't dead

But man they're dyin' slow

Yeah I been fadin'

Everywhere I go

I ain't the man I swore I'd be

I'm just watchin' those dreams

Smother and die inside of me

To that kid inside who thought I'd be alright

Man... I'm sorry I let go of that fight

To the man I swore one day I'd become

If you saw me now… you'd turn and run

I ain't found peace, but I let it be

I'm just watchin' those dreams

Die in me

Die in me
