The line 'Is a dream a lie if it don't come true, or is it something worse?' is from The River by Bruce Springsteen (accompanied by the E Street Band).
The River was released in 1981, and was the title track from the fifth album by Bruce Springsteen. It enjoyed commercial success in Europe - even featuring in Sweden and Norway's Top 10 charts - but was not actually released as a single in America.
'Is A Dream A Lie If It Don't Come True?' Features Towards The End Of The River:
But I remember us riding in my brother's car
Her body tan and wet down at the reservoir
At night on them banks I'd lie awake
And pull her close just to feel each breath she'd take
