In her dreams she was laughing
I was crying and awake
her body was moving as if in dance
my heart was beating like boiling bubbles
She was in happy state as she revealed the truth
I was in nightmare to cove the falsehood.
We were in contrasting style
I was looking down, she was dreaming high
To say the truth is like lighten your heart
to conceal the truth is carrying burden on your back
I decided to spill the beans
Morning I was behind the bars, she was a dancing queen
Even in dreams she knew the art of lying
Even in my awake state I failed to learn the lessons.
