Stay in a dream
You gave me hope, man... Showed me something I never knew. Then you threw it all away. Look (Fast, punchy delivery) You showed me love, you made me light, For once in life, I felt alright. Felt wanted, real—no second guess, Now all that’s left is all this stress. You pushed me out, thought I’d be free, Thought peace was waiting there for me. Instead it flipped, the light went dark, A nightmare living in the dark. Never felt loved till you came through, Thought every word you said was true. Felt like a home I never had, No running wild, no feeling sad. Wanted for once, I held it tight, Finally thought I got it right. Then came the shifts, the quiet tone, Left in the corner, all alone. Every single move I made was wrong, Accusations all day long. Pointin' fingers, placing blame, Turning my high right into shame. Doubt in your eyes, fake in your voice, Leaving me left with no more choice. [CHORUS - 1:05 - 1:31] (High energy, heavy delivery) You showed me love, you made me light, For once in life, I felt alright. Felt wanted, real—no second guess, Now all that’s left is all this stress. You pushed me out, thought I’d be free, Thought peace was waiting there for me. Instead it flipped, the light went dark, A nightmare living in the dark. [VERSE 2 - 1:31 - 1:57] (Building frustration, rapid-fire) Pushed out the door, you let me fall, Thought walking out would end it all. Thought I’d breathe easy, clear my head, Instead I’m trapped in thoughts of dread. Nightmare living in my mind, Hardest truth I had to find. Wasn’t the exit that set me free, It’s what you left inside of me. Constant thoughts of "what I do?" Trying to prove myself to you. Lost the love, lost the place, Now I’m running in a race. No direction, no clean slate, Just me standing at the gate. [BRIDGE - 1:57 - 2:10] (Beat drops back slightly, half-time vocal feel) You made me feel wanted... then tore it apart. Accused me of things that were never at heart. Thought I’d be fine once I walked out the door, Now I’m just fighting a whole different war. [OUTRO - 2:10 - 2:30] (Fast, fading out over the track) Showed me love... took it back. Left me running on the track. Thought it’d be easy... thought I’d be right. Now it’s a nightmare every night. Yeah, a nightmare every night. Out the door... into the dark.
