Nightmare
The greatest fear that I ever faced was awakening
And finding that you had already left
The only person that remained in my world was self
I had to look over the edge to see that I was nearing death
My only salvation was in placing you back upon a shelf
I was forced to walk the earth a tortured soul
Living a life that I couldn't control
I now realize that you were the axis
To both my north and south pole
What can I do to reclaim my hold
Life isn't as simple as the storybooks told
We're not all robots built in a mold
Our love was complicated demanding time
I should've remember how hard it was for me to find
Instead I drew a line and played with your mind
You endured the torture as long as you could
Thinking today was bad, but tomorrow will be good
I didn't hear your pleading, or saw the things that I should
Your heart was bleeding, you were totally misunderstood
But in my REM there was things behind my eyes
I'm seeing a side of me that I now despise
I see that you've left and has been tooken
My core, my axis, has now been tooken
Without your love was guidance, and depth
I see myself no longer caring for myself
He looks good, his smile lights up the world
He's claiming my Boo is now his world
The pain inside is something I just can't take
The ground is crumbling as my whole world shakes
I hear the word Baby gently in my ear
I feel familiarity, when you pull me near
I open my eyes realizing it was a dream
You are still here with me and we're still a team
You pull me close and allow me to confide
And then later on allowed me to slip inside
And finding that you had already left
The only person that remained in my world was self
I had to look over the edge to see that I was nearing death
My only salvation was in placing you back upon a shelf
I was forced to walk the earth a tortured soul
Living a life that I couldn't control
I now realize that you were the axis
To both my north and south pole
What can I do to reclaim my hold
Life isn't as simple as the storybooks told
We're not all robots built in a mold
Our love was complicated demanding time
I should've remember how hard it was for me to find
Instead I drew a line and played with your mind
You endured the torture as long as you could
Thinking today was bad, but tomorrow will be good
I didn't hear your pleading, or saw the things that I should
Your heart was bleeding, you were totally misunderstood
