Nightmares Lyrics by Franklin

2018

[Verse 1]
My tears have turned to water, my heart has turned to stone
We flow through ecstasy in this mess we call our home
Can you hear me? I'm calling out your name
’Cause this love has turned to [?]
I don't wanna see you with anybody else
Put your heart inside my purse so I can understand my wealth
I feel like I need you
I'd be lying if I said I wasn’t relying on you
I'm relying on you, I'm relying on you

[Pre-Chorus]
But I can't breathe [?]
[?] in this sea of despair
And I wanna feel like I used to
So take it and take it, oh

[Chorus 1]
But I've been having nightmares
Why don't you take me somewhere where I can breathe
I've been having nightmares
Why don't you take me somewhere where I can breathe
Where I can breathe, where I can breathe

[Verse 2]
We’ve been [?] for ages, we’re like fallen angels
But with rusted halos, I think that I should let it go
When my feelings explode, let's take it slow
My heart’s in a chest, laid on [?]
You tell me you want more, I can't give it all, give it all
Not give it all

[Chorus 1]
'Cause I've been having nightmares
Why don’t you take me somewhere where I can
'Cause I've been having nightmares
Why don't you take me somewhere where I can breathe, yeah
Where I can breathe, no no no

[Chorus 1]
'Cause I've been having nightmares
Why don't you take me somewhere where I can
I've been having nightmares
Why don't you take me somewhere

[Chorus 2]
Nightmares (Why don't you)
Why don't you take me somewhere where, and I can't (Breathe)
'Cause I've been having nightmares
Why don't you take me somewhere where, and I can't
'Cause I've been having nightmares
Why don't you take me somewhere where, and I can't
I've been having nightmares
Why don't you take me somewhere where, and I can't breathe
