Bad Dream

Grades drop like flies
Flyin' into the light
There goes my sanity
The end is in sight

I'm not a bad person
And I can do better
I'm fallin' behind
And it's killin' me

I need to stop
And I need to see
What this s**t
Is doin' to me

I question myself every minute
Every second, every day
Is this price too high to pay?

Gotta ditch while it's easy
Before I go insane
Before I can't get out of it
But I'll never be the same

Don't know who I am
And I don't know why
I can't just say goodbye
To these tears I cry

Can't apologize enough
For the pain I've caused
For the night went unslept
For the tears you've shed

No matter how many times it's said
You can't change the past
But if we could
You and I together
I know we would

Make it stop here
Make it disappear
I don't like it
And it's everythin'
I once feared

I need to stop
And it stops right here

I need you near
And I need to hear
Those three simple words
That mean so much
Coming from you

And I can't apologize enough
For the pain I've caused
For the nights went unslept
For the tears you've shed

I'm ashamed, I'm disgusted
By what I'm doin' to you
I'mma stop ma, I promise

And it'll all be done
It'll all be gone
It'll all be a bad dream
