Nightmare

Nightmare Lyrics & Chords

I know I dreamed about you 
when I woke I choked a little on the hope that rose up in my throat 
I swallowed hard before I could stand
Waiting for the floor to get solid again

I dreamed you wrapped  your arms around my heart and squeezed
You never knew just where to stop, you kept it up ’til I was bleeding
I clutched my broken ribs;
I took your alibis to bed and I laid there instead of sleeping

How can I have peace when this roaring beast of you keeps trampling in?
I feel the panting breath and I know the rest
will just begin again – it begins again

I know I dreamed about you 
when I woke I choked a little on the hope that rose up in my throat 
I swallowed hard before I could stand
Waiting for the floor to get solid again

You lurk between my sheets, you creep under my skin
Right behind my eyelids I know I’ll find you again
I pray your name aloud just to drown it out
The holy water gurgles up out of my mouth

I dreamed you wrapped your arms around my heart and squeezed
you never knew just when to stop you ‘til I started to scream
I clutched my broken ribs; I can’t be whole again
When I try to heal you steal in and break my strength again

How can I have peace when the roaring beast of you keeps trampling in?
I feel the panting breath and I know the rest
will just begin again
it begins again
