I take your lives cause I love you To save your souls From the bitter truth The writing on the wall We couldn't quite believe it The words just said it all But we took to fantasy Another child was born The beginning of my delusion To cover up the facts That we were losing all we had Possessed by the impossible dream We had lost all common sense In pursuit of everything Possessed by the impossible dream We had lost all common sense In pursuit of everything I felt forced to follow suit The epitome of delusion No one had to know What I was really struggling with Behind laughs and phoney smiles I kept the secrets close to me A 20 hour working day Was meant to make us stay In this world of impossible dreams We had lost all common sense In pursuit of everything In this world of impossible dreams We had lost all common sense In pursuit of everything I can't tell you where we stand Apology with gun in hand Possessed by the impossible dream We had lost all common sense In pursuit of everything Possessed by the impossible dream We had lost all common sense In pursuit of everything Possessed by the impossible dream We had lost all common sense In pursuit of everything The impossible dream In pursuit of everything The impossible dream
