Alternate Reality

V1:

Had a dream last night

You held me in your arms

Acting like two people in love

Talking pet names and diamond rings

Promised not to break my heart

Clearly not a future vision

And I woke up real confused

Cuz it's been a while since I thought of you

Chorus:

Made me think back to the way things used to be

Maybe in an alternate reality

We could have had all the things we were missing

At the time, you were my world

Turned into just another girl

The harsh reality of our time

Cut short by the way it had to be

Maybe we would have made it through

In an alternate reality

V2:

My phone popped up with a memory

Of you and me under London lights

Smiling in the photos

Hiding the trouble bubbling beneath

First time I said I loved you

But you didn't say it back

Beginning of the end

Only lasted a few more weeks 

 Chorus:

Made me think back to the way things used to be

Maybe in an alternate reality

We could have had all the things we were missing

At the time, you were my world

Turned into just another girl

The harsh reality of our time

Cut short by the way it had to be

Maybe we would have made it through

In an alternate reality

Bridge:

Do you ever think of what could've been?

If not for the things that did us in

We could be smiling bright

But shadows left us forever a question in the night

Chorus:

Made me think back to the way things used to be

Maybe in an alternate reality

We could have had all the things we were missing

At the time, you were my world

Turned into just another girl

The harsh reality of our time

Cut short by the way it had to be

Maybe we would have made it through

In an alternate reality
