Don't take my dreams!

You see I love you baby
But it was never easy for me
I came from nothing to nothing
And the people who cared were never there
Or no one cared that should have cared
You see baby I really try
To be a good person and to do right
To still have faith when all hope is gone
But see baby I'm not that strong
I need my dreams to just hold on
But if you take them all away
There is no reason for me to stay
I don't want to make the same mistakes
The same mistakes my mother made
I can't bear to live her life
And when my dreams die I will die
