My nightmares start as something so sweet,
Something so beautiful, something so free
We were everything we’d ever need
To reach anything that we could be…
–
–
Then the snakes came out, and I couldn’t see,
The glass on my path, slicing up my feet.
I danced for you while you laughed at me,
Never once thought my love could be mean.
–
–
And it’s taken years to form my scars.
Through the lessons and the tears, I fell apart.
Now the girl you knew is buried in your yard,
And I’m standing here blooming with a Brand new heart.
–
–
I can tell you I’m better than I was.
I’m living my life with a newfound cause.
I’ve got a warmth in my soul I thought I’d lost,
And a smile on my lips you never saw..
–
–
Even when the nightmares haunt my sleep,
And I’m trapped in the game of you or me,
I wake in the morning, glad I’m free-
No regret, no remorse, just a soul at peace.
–
–
So keep your distance, and I’ll walk my road,
Looking in and seeking out my heart’s new home..
Your name is one my friends will never know,
As I’m looking in and seeking out my heart’s new home.
