These Dreams – Ed Sheeran – letras

I keep my hopes and dreams inside of youAmongst the other thingsMy mother seems to never see the bruisesThat I’m coveringNever been known as my government nameMy foster home is where I’ve been placed awayFrom the painAnd now you sit before me with a folderHolding my story, you’re my savior with nothing on meBut power and gloryAnd surely you’ll never ignore me’cause when the the call cameThe court date was made to disappear for meYou think you understand meBut never what I went throughBut you were never meant to I won’t hold it against youI take a ballpoint pen to play dot to dotWith the cigarette burns etched in my forearmsForget me not never let me stopYou’ll just sit and watch it’s your job to be patientSo you’ll let me offSo come with me take a walk on the wild sideSee life in a day through a child’s eyesAnd these dreams are all I have to hold meWhen sleep’s the only thing that I want to take me awayAwayOkay, session’s over time to get back to the classroomI hate this lessonAnd I guess the teacher finds it hard tooYou told me I should try my best but guess what?I still find this trigonometry a head fuckConstantly told I won’t pass my gcse’sI’ll end up in micky d’s serving burgers and cheeseBut you told me I can do anything if I put my mind to itMistakes make a change if you put a line through ’emLately classmates think I’m crazyTurn up daily resembling bill baileyAnd I ain’t saying that I can’t be groomed with itWithout new clothes or shower it hard to doSo after school you’ll take me shoppingFor some new clothesBut they’ll get taken off meWhen I get back to the group homeSo come with me take a walk on the wild sideSee life in a day through a child’s eyesAnd these dreams are all I have, to hold meWhen sleep’s the only thingThat I want to take me away, away
