Nightmare
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Broken glass everywhere
One second feels like a lifetime
No one around, but you were there
Play it back in my mind
I should stop, hold up
I feel like I'm going crazy
No one cares, I'm all alone
And no one there to save me
Take from my heart just like you take from my soul
I wanna erase from my mind but I can't let go (go, go, yeah)
Eyes open wide, feel like I'm gonna die
And I just wanna get out, I'm scared right now
Pinching myself tryna get up
I don't wanna sleep no more
'Cause every time I close my eyes, all I see is you
I don't wanna dream about it
I don't wanna dream about it
I don't wanna sleep no more
When I hear you call, I wanna wake up
I don't wanna dream about it
I don't wanna dream about it
You're a nightmare
Lookin' in the mirror
Got a funny feelin'
Déjà vu, like I been here before
And yeah, it's all gettin' clearer
Ever had a feelin' like it's something that they needed you to know? Oh
It's hauntin' me
Must feel alone tonight
My body is shakin'
And I'm scared for my life
Take from my heart just like you take from my soul
I wanna erase from my mind but I can't let go (go, go, yeah)
Eyes open wide, feel like I'm gonna die
And I just wanna get out, I'm scared right now
Pinching myself tryna get up
I don't wanna sleep no more
'Cause every time I close my eyes, all I see is you
I don't wanna dream about it
I don't wanna dream about it
I don't wanna sleep no more
When I hear you call, I wanna wake up
I don't wanna dream about it
I don't wanna dream about it
You're a nightmare
I don't wanna sleep no more
'Cause every time I close my eyes, all I see is you
I don't wanna dream about it
I don't wanna dream about it
I don't wanna sleep no more
When I hear you call, I wanna wake up
I don't wanna dream about it
I don't wanna dream about it
You're a nightmare
