She grew up in a small town
hung up and tossed around
dreamed outside the lines of being a queen
and her heart had been mistreated by the one she thought she needed
with visions of a life like the ones up on a screen
It's never what you need, it's only what you have
That's what she tells herself at night before she starts to go to sleep
In a minute she'll be gone
Into a better place than her home
Inside the boundaries of Alicia's dreams
Well her mother gives her care
but she can't always be there
and that's where all of the innocence goes wrong
Yeah, she'd like to run for miles
Even only for a little while
See herself somewhere other than alone
It's never what you need, it's only what you have
that's what she tells herself at night before she starts to go to sleep
In a minute she'll be gone
into a better place than her home
Inside the boundaries of Alicia's dreams
Well it never seems to end
This tumble she's caught in
And the boys are all still knocking on her door
She keeps her eyes fixed on the long run
And in time she'll be the strong one
But for right now she's gonna give up to what they're waiting for
It's never what you need
It's only what you have
That's what she tells herself at night before she starts to go to sleep
In a minute she'll be gone
Into a better place than her home
Inside the boundaries of Alicia's dreams
It's never what you need
It's only what you have
That's what she tells herself at night before she cries herself to sleep
In a minute she'll be gone into a better place than her home
Inside the boundaries of Alicia's dreams
Alicia's dreams
