[Verse 1] You say you’re fine, but I can tell Something’s waiting underneath You keep it buried pretty well Until you finally fall asleep I don’t need to read your mind You leave the door unlocked One step in, the room goes quiet And suddenly the walls can talk [Pre-Chorus] You can run, you can hide But you brought it inside You can wake, you can scream Still stuck in the same bad dream [Chorus] Bad dream, bad dream You made it, not me Every little fear you keep Comes alive when you sleep Bad dream, bad dream Nowhere you wanna be Close your eyes, count to three You’re still here with me [Verse 2] I’ve seen tough guys lose their nerve Over things they’d never say Everybody has a place They don’t want the light to stay Maybe yours is being alone Maybe yours wears someone’s face Maybe it’s the things you did Coming back without a trace [Pre-Chorus] You can run, you can hide But you brought it inside You can wake, you can scream Still stuck in the same bad dream [Chorus] Bad dream, bad dream You made it, not me Every little fear you keep Comes alive when you sleep Bad dream, bad dream Nowhere you wanna be Close your eyes, count to three You’re still here with me [Bridge] I don’t make the monsters I just let them out I don’t choose what follows you I just turn it up loud You can blame me if you want to You can swear it isn’t real But if it means nothing to you Why are you scared of how it feels? [Breakdown] Don’t look back Don’t lose sleep Too late now You’re in too deep Don’t look back Don’t lose sleep You brought the nightmare I brought the key [Final Chorus] Bad dream, bad dream You made it, not me Every little fear you keep Comes alive when you sleep Bad dream, bad dream Nowhere you wanna be Close your eyes, count to three You’re still here with me Bad dream, bad dream It follows when you leave Wake up if you want to You still have to sleep
