Nightmares Lyrics

It comes in waves

Because every time I thought you were here to stay

You'd cage yourself back in and turn me away

I only wanted to help, so night stole my day

Now the only memory I have are the scars you gave

That is not what I thought it would be, and

That is not the dream I dreamed, and

That is not the life I need

But now this house is so empty

I'm looking for you, but you're not there

But I still see you in my nightmares

Nobody told me how hard it can be

To bury my past far from me

But you still visit in my nightmares

It comes in waves

Cause an ocean can't flow from me all at once

And I know I'm not the same I used to be because

Now the shadows in the corner make me wince

I haven't believed someone could really love me since

That is not what I thought it would be, and

That is not to what I agreed, and

That is not the life I need

My nightmares turned out just like I dreamed they'd be

I'm looking for you, but you're not there

But I still see you in my nightmares

Nobody told me how hard it can be

To bury my past far from me

But you still visit in my nightmares

Please tell me

What happened to the safety of brotherly love?

What happened to our dreams and the life we wanted?

What happened to the fun we had together?

But honestly, what happened to "friends forever?"

Were the songs and the gifts and all the times I stayed

Not enough for you, it was just my heart I gave?

Like two warriors of old, with you I wasn't afraid

But then your eyes ghosted mine, it's like your soul went blind

Because you believed the rumors that were told

You bought all the lies that the devil sold

And I guess you did what's best for you

But I guess your best friend wasn't me

Where are you?

It's so lonely out here in the cold

The weekends are hard when you're alone

So I'm still looking for you, but you're not there

But I still see you in my nightmares

Nobody told me how hard it can be

To send your best friend back to sea

But you still visit in my nightmares
