Alice Wu - A Forgotten Dream Lyrics

Boys are never nice to you until you're pretty
You'll never be good enough without straight As
Spend your life studying, it'll pay off
Get into boarding school
For the future you'll have someday
But what about me?
What about my dreams and aspirations
Never meant to be?
I did what you said
I tried my best
But I'll always be less
So maybe I will never be
The perfect daughter
They will never want you unless you are perfect
At every sport and performance and test
Life is so cynical
Friends they all leave
Trust me you'll get it
For the future you'll have one day
But what about me?
What about the life I always dreamed of
Never meant to be?
I did what I said
You tried your best
But we'll always be less
So maybe I'll never be
The perfect daughter
I just want to lie down and rest
Without a worry that I'll wake up sad and stressed
When life was sunshine and rainbows
Not chasing a forgotten dream
One day I'll close my eyes
And see
A dream
I had a dream
I had a dream once upon a time
Everything ended when I came here
I could've been someone
It all was so sudden
To end
