Nightmares In My Dreams

I saw a girl at a party, saw her walking outside
Runny nose, eyes all red and it looked like she cried
You know, maybe she smoked but she didn't look high
'Lotta booze on the table and some dudes in a fight

I walk outside, saw some girls making out on my left
Then I look to my right, the girl is holding a cigarette
We sat down on the ground while she looked like a mess
I ask, are you okay? And the story comes next

She tried to be herself but she was afraid
Her parents told her that they were ashamed
You don't have to live the lie they made
For everyone to be the same

So days pass, you see yourself slowly sinking
And you're asking yourself is this the life I wanne live in?
Now she sits here and is slowly breathing
Wondering how she's gonna give this life meaning

You know, she opened up like this and told me all these stories
We talked all night yet I know that she worries
But the only thing I'm tryna do, is tryna make her see
That life is pretty pointless if you don't dare to dream

When you run away, where do you go?
May feel like you're glass, but you're made out of stone
The house is locked but it doesn't mean it's closed
Just take out the ladders, climb through the window

What is an angel without wings and it can't fly
What is a poem with some words if it doesnt rhyme
What is a car without wheels so it can't drive
What is a future without dreams and you don't try

What if one night, you find yourself losing your mind
What if the love you seek doesn't ease the pain you feel
What if you run from the past but the time flies by
But you're destined for a future so dare to dream

So dare to dream
Don't be scared to seek
It'll be alright
It'll be alright

You tried to be my light
So I'm not blind to see
But even if I try
I still got nightmares in my dreams

Nightmares in my head
The fear inside my eyes
Even if it hurts
I will always say I'm fine

Been trapped and lost in the past
Was told I'm not enough
You set a fire in my dark
To face my fears and leave the scars

They will never see
And they will never know
It's the leaves that fall
That I relate to the most

As the river flows
I go up against
All the pain I know
Will it ever end?

I don't know if the pain will ever stop to exist
I don't know if you'll ever feel great
But we decide for ourselfves if we get lost in the mist
Turn on the lights and search for some faith

Hope is a way to stop the tears for the night
It'll be okay I'll be by your side
Let's set away our fears and enjoy our time
Put out that cigarette and let's go inside

You tried to be my light
So I'm not blind to see
But even if I try
I still got nightmares in my dreams

Nightmares in my head
The fear inside my eyes
Even if it hurts
I will always say I'm fine

I will always say I'm fine
I will always say I'm fine
Even if it hurts
I will always say I'm fine
