Nightmares

[Verse 1] I get the last word Only because I write on the walls in my head Maybe some things are better unsaid To be left on the sheets of your bed [Pre-Chorus] Can I forgive if I forget All my mistakes and my regrets? If all of this is for the best [Chorus] I've been singing that song again Another ballad that won't make amends It's been giving me nightmares again And they don't end I've been singing along again Another poem designed for revenge Now I'm living the nightmare again And it won't end [Verse 2] Pity the actor canning the laughter I know I waited too long I played so dumb, I was under the thumb A conclusion far too foregone [Pre-Chorus] Can I forgive if I forget All my mistakes and my regrets? If all of this is for the best [Chorus] I've been singing that song again Another ballad that won't make amends It's been giving me nightmares again And they don't end I've been singing along again Another poem designed for revenge Now I'm living the nightmare again And it won't end [Post-Chorus] For, for, forgiving For, for, forgetting For, for, forgiving For, for, forgetting [Bridge] It might have looked like love, but it tasted a lot like blood What is it like to be the apple of your own eye? Always loved Always seen Always gratified Always heard Always safe Always satisfied An ugly song came from a ballad for a friend If beauty is in the eye of the beholder, it never ends I was no sweet dream, but I was never a nightmare I'm glad that we can all now stop pretending that you cared I was no sweet dream, but I was never a nightmare I love it when you talk about it to people who weren't there The arrogance and narcissism laid bare I was no sweet dream, but I was never a nightmare [Chorus] I've been singing that song again Another ballad that won't make amends It's been giving me nightmares again And they don't end I've been singing along again Another poem designed for revenge Now I'm living the nightmare again And it won't end [Outro] For, for, forgiving For, for, forgetting For, for, forgiving For, for, forgetting For, for, forgiving For, for, forgetting For, for, forgiving For, for, forgetting
