Lyrics, please opinions?

[4 sided mystery]

I think it would be kind of me
to let my inner feelings be free
and I want for you to have a safe journey
it's not a choice but it burns with integrity

Chorus:
You gave up your dreams
said you snapped back to reality
threw away your only hopes
then it all went up in smoke

Well, im sitting outside
wondering, still alive
looking back in the past
as I do, I unlocked a memory

of a time so bright you'd go blind
about the message
twas quiet a time
and I know one day things will look alright
please believe me, it's gonna be calm tonight

Chorus:
You gave up your dreams
said you snapped back to reality
threw away your only hopes
then it all went up in smoke

I geuss that fire burned down the whole house
our home forever in ashes did it even have to come twice?
for if not the future that turns dark
why does the past have to look so bright?

and now im sitting outside
in a blanket, under the sky
talking about the future speed and pace
a smile starts to slide on your face

and it wasn;t too long till we got back on track
hell i wonder how he got his smile back
and ever since he gave up his dreams
you could say he's been real clean

Chorus:
You gave up your dreams
said you snapped back to reality
threw away your only hopes
then it all went up in smoke!
