I used to have a dream Now I just have the smoke I was sixteen with the world inside my chest Wrote it all down, thought I'd never lose the rest But the pages burned slow, I didn't even cry Just watched the flames and said my last goodbye Funny how the ash kept me warm at night Funny how the wreckage became my drive I don't miss the dream, I miss who I was But that kid had to die for me to survive Yesterday's dream Became today's gasoline I'm not chasing anymore I'm just running on the fumes Yesterday's hope Became the fire underneath Lost everything I wanted Now it's all I need They ask me why I'm cold, I say I've just been burned Every lesson that I paid for, never thought I'd earn Used to pray for doors to open, now I break the walls Used to fear the height, now I don't fear the fall The version of me that believed Had to bleed So the version of me that survives Could be freed Yesterday's dream Became today's gasoline I'm not chasing anymore I'm just running on the fumes Yesterday's hope Became the fire underneath Lost everything I wanted Now it's all I need I don't think about the road not taken now Too much distance in the rearview somehow Some things fade Some things stay Most of them just drift away I had plans I had names For every fire I couldn't tame Now I wake up Do the same And carry what remains Nobody came Nobody knew The world kept turning Like it always does The rain still fell The sky stayed gray And little by little I found a way Yesterday's dream Became today's gasoline I'm not chasing anymore I'm just running on the fumes Yesterday's hope Became the fire underneath Lost everything I wanted Now it's all I need Yesterday's dream Became today's gasoline Maybe that's not what I planned But it's enough for me I don't run on hope anymore I run on everything That didn't work out And somehow That's enough
