These Dreams Lyrics - Ed Sheeran

I keep my hopes and dreams inside of you amongst the other things 

My mother seems to never see the bruises that I'm covering, 

Never been known as my government name, 

My foster home is where I've been placed away from the pain, 

And now you sit before me with a folder holding my story, you're my savior with nothing on me but power and glory, 

And surely you'll never ignore me, 'cause when the the call came 

The court date was made to disappear for me, 

You think you understand me but never what I went through 

But you were never meant to I won't hold it against you, 

I take a ballpoint pen to play dot to dot with the cigarette burns etched in my forearms, 

Forget me not never let me stop 

You'll just sit and watch it's your job to be patient so you'll let me off,

So come with me take a walk on the wild side, 

See life in a day through a child's eyes, 

And these dreams are all I have to hold me, 

When sleep's the only thing that I want to take me away, away, 

Okay, session's over time to get back to the classroom, 

I hate this lesson and I guess the teacher finds it hard too, 

You told me I should try my best but guess what? 

I still find this trigonometry a head fuck, 

Constantly told I won't pass my GCSE's, 

I'll end up in Micky D's serving burgers and cheese, 

But you told me I can do anything if I put my mind to it, 

Mistakes make a change if you put a line through 'em, 

Lately classmates think I'm crazy, turn up daily resembling Bill Bailey, 

And I ain't saying that I can't be groomed with it 

Without new clothes or shower it hard to do, 

So after school you'll take me shopping for some new clothes 

But they'll get taken off me when I get back to the group home, 

So come with me take a walk on the wild side 

See life in a day through a child's eyes, 

And these dreams are all I have, to hold me, 

When sleep's the only thing that I want to take me away, away.
