Dream Run Dry

It happens to rivers and beers
Rain clouds and tears
Just give it time, they all run dry
It happens to water wells and coffee cups
Swimming pools when you pull the plug
That's just life, they all run dry

But what if some things ain't supposed to
It don't feel natural when they do
And nobody can tell you why
All that's left is a hole inside
And a kind of grief that simply never dies

That's how I feel right now
Watching a dream run dry

Nothing seems to work
You just can't kill the thirst
When your best laid plans
Turn to desert sand
There ain't no way to even cry
The dust out of your bloodshot eyes
That kind of sad can break a man

'Cause what if some things ain't supposed to
It don't feel natural when they do
And nobody can tell you why
All that's left is a hole inside
And a kind of grief that simply never dies

That's how I feel right now
Watching a dream run dry

What ifs and what could-have-beens
Will haunt you late at night
I guess everything that's ever lived
Someday says goodbye

What if some things ain't supposed to
It don't feel natural when they do
And nobody can tell you why
All that's left is a hole inside
And a kind of grief that simply never dies

That's how I feel right now
Watching a dream run dry
Watching a dream run dry
