Bad Dream

I was fighting, struggling and I new you weren't there.

I couldn’t wake up
Because I knew you weren’t there
I was fighting, struggling
And I knew you weren’t there
Though I’ve never been the kind
Who needed someone there
I couldn’t face the fact
That you weren’t there
So I trapped myself
In a terrible dream
Where I was all alone
Without you
Because I knew you wouldn’t there
When I opened my eyes
I knew you wouldn’t be there
To stop my crying
I was fighting, struggling
And I’ve never been the kind
To fight alone
Yet there I was
Because I knew you weren’t there
I knew you weren’t there
I knew your weren’t there

 

Where did you go?
I was fighting, struggling
In such a bad dream
A bad dream like the dreams I’d have before
But you’d always wake me up
And I’d be safe in your arms
You dried all my tears, banished my fears
And now you’re nowhere in sight
So I’ll fight all the night
And wake up in my bed
Without you by my side
And I’ll carry on fighting
All the thoughts in my head
The bad dream doesn’t end
Because you’re not here anymore
The bad dream doesn’t end
When I wake from my sleep
The bad dream doesn’t end
My whole world it keeps

 

I can never be free
I’ve trapped myself in this bad dream
Even when I wake, it’s all the same
I’m fighting, struggling
Without you here
You’re not here
Why can’t I accept
That you’re not here?

"I wake up, it's a bad dream
No one by my side
I was fighting
But I just feel too tired to be fighting."

I adore the sense of longing, just pure raw want in this.
