BAD DREAM

wrote it a couple days ago, it's a true story.

Woke up crying, tear soaked pillow
Couldn't get that image out of my mind
And my heart, my heart, my heart so heavy, the pain so crushing I could hardly breathe

Chorus:
And I know, I know, it was just a bad dream
And I know, I know, it wasn't what it seemed
And I know, I know, it wasn't even real
But I felt things no one should ever have to feel

Crawled out of bed, climbed in the shower
Tried to wash those feelings down the drain
And my tears, my tears, tears kept falling, fear so real I could barely speak

Chorus

My worst fears came true that night
It all went wrong and I'm the only one to blame
And I tried, I tried, to make it right
But I searched in vain and I lost the fight

Chorus

It was just a dream for me, but for some a reality
A living hell they can't escape
And the pain, the pain, oh, the pain
Devastation leaves them empty

Last Chorus:
But I know, I know, that we're stronger than we think
Yes I know, that we won't admit defeat
And I know, that we don't have to be beat
Even when we feel things no one should ever have to feel...
