That’s The Dream Lyrics by Shawn Mendes
It’s been this way since seventeen
The highs and lows and in betweens
My love
We said “forever” ever since we give a lot, but do we give enough?
I know we made our promises, but promises are hard to keep
I don’t know if it’s meant to be
But ooh-ooh-ooh, that’s the dream
Got this wedding in a week
Can’t believe you won’t be there with me
My love
I know that space is supposed to help
But I feel like a shadow of myself
I know we made our promises, but promises are hard to keep
I don’t know if it’s meant to be
But ooh-ooh-ooh, that’s the dream
That’s the dream
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I know we made our promises, but promises are hard to keep
But why’d I have to go and leave when I know nothing good comes easily?
I don’t know if it’s meant to be
But ooh-ooh-ooh, that’s the dream
Ooh-ooh-ooh, that’s the dream
Ooh-ooh-ooh, that’s the dream
