You’re a nightmare Lyrics by We are the dirt

2020

[Chorus]
Reality looks a whole lot clearer
Looking back through the rear view mirror
Take a glance and all that I see
You were nothing but a nightmare to me
[Verse 1]
Making films in the basement
Hang me upside down
He says “You can scream all that you want
No one will hear a sound”
I wonder is what I want
He says this is what I deserve
He tells me if I just quit messing up
I won’t get hurt
[Bridge]
He says my life is his for the taking
So I must repent for the mistakes you're making
[Pre-Chorus]
You're all I wanted, all I wantеd
You knew from the start
You take еvery chance you get
To tear me apart
That's what you always wanted, always wanted
Me and my fragile heart
You take every chance you get
To tear it apart
‘Cause that's what you always wanted, always wanted
You knew it from the start
You take every chance you get
To tear it apart
[Chorus]
But reality looks a whole lot clearer
Looking back through the rear view mirror
Take a glance and all that I see
You were nothing but a nightmare to me
[Verse 2]
Memories we’ve broke
Put me in the back of his car
He says “You don't need to feel comfortable
It’s not that fair”
I wonder is what I want
He says this is what I deserve
He tells me I should’ve quit messing up
‘Cause now I’ll be hurt
[Bridge]
He always leaves me alone and bleeding
But i always come back weak and pleading
[Pre-Chorus]
It’s what I wanted, what I wanted
It’s what I deserve
He says “You’ve been misbehaving
Haven’t you, dear?”
It’s what you always wanted, always wanted
It's what you deserve
He says “Go ahead do it again
If you’ve got the nerve”
It's what I wanted, what I wanted
It's what I deserve
He says “Go ahead, run away again
But you always return”
[Chorus]
Reality looks a whole lot clearer
Looking back through the rear view mirror
Take a glance and all that I see
You were nothing but a nightmare to me
[Outro]
You are nothing, you are nothing
You were nothing but a nightmare to me
You are nothing, you are nothing
You were nothing but a nightmare to me
