I Have Lost My Dreams Lyrics
Stopped pretending,
happy ending,
everything I ever wanted,
stands in front of me.
I have lost my dreams.
I have lost my dreams.
Now they say i told the truth,
life beyond the burden of proof,
paper thin blue skies,
and windless feet.
I have lost my dreams.
I have lost my dreams.
Traffic crawling,
life is moving,
up through stately trees,
into their green please.
Find a new dream.
Find a new dream.
I have lost my dreams.
I have lost my dreams.
happy ending,
everything I ever wanted,
stands in front of me.
I have lost my dreams.
life beyond the burden of proof,
paper thin blue skies,
and windless feet.
I have lost my dreams.
life is moving,
up through stately trees,
into their green please.
Find a new dream.
I have lost my dreams.
I have lost my dreams.

The saddest happy song out there. She's singing about how she's gotten everything she's ever wanted, those things we place before us as goals to mark our happiness. This is the point where the lovers kiss and the movie ends, but her life isn't over.
So, now what? What's next? What's left to do? Dreams are what keep us going and she has none of them left.
The line "everything I ever wanted stands in front of me" makes me picture her singing this song while walking down the aisle at her wedding. It's an odd juxtaposition reminding us that those happy moments where we achieve our dreams are also the moments that we are done dreaming them.
