‣ nightmare

​I can't help but sleep with the lights on
'Cause ever since you left me
Shadows run across these blank walls
It's suddenly so creepy

I once had them built up, yeah so high
How was I stupid enough
To drop them for you
When you dropped me so quickly
Do you even have a clue
What you did to me

How could the girl of my dreams
Wake me to this cold reality
No, I wasn't ready to wake up
Without you by my side, oh
And when you left me
You left me so scared
Terrified, but you don't care
How could the girl of my dreams
Turn my world into such a nightmare

Tell me, how could this be fair
They say we all get what we deserve
Well what did I do to you
To make you want to
Put me through so much hurt
And such unbearable pain
I just can't seem to escape
Yeah, will I ever wake
From this nightmare

How could the girl of my dreams
Wake me to this cold reality
No, I wasn't ready to wake up
Without you by my side, oh
And when you left me
You left me so scared
Terrified, but you don't care
How could the girl of my dreams
Turn my world into such a nightmare

Now all I want to do
Is open my eyes and feel the light
But no matter how many times
I see that sun rise
It feels so cold
So cold without you by my side

How could the girl of my dreams
Do this to me?

How could the girl of my dreams
Wake me to this cold reality
No, I wasn't ready to wake up
Without you by my side, oh
And when you left me
You left me so damn scared
Terrified, but you don't care
How could the girl of my dreams
Turn my world into such a nightmare
