Nightmares

Chvrches

I get the last word

Only because I write on the walls in my head

Maybe some things are better unsaidTo be left on the sheets of your bed

Can I forgive if I forget

All my mistakes and my regrets?

If all of this is for the best

I′ve been singing that song again

Another ballad that won't make amends

It′s been giving me nightmares again

And they don't end

I've been singing along again

Another poem designed for revenge

Now I′m living the nightmare again

And it won′t end

Pity the actor canning the laughter

I know I waited too long (for-for-forgiving)

I played so dumb, I was under the thumb

A conclusion far too foregone (for-for-forgone)

Can I forgive if I forget

All my mistakes and my regrets?

If all of this is for the best

I've been singing that song again

Another ballad that won′t make amends

It's been giving me nightmares again

And they don′t end

I've been singing along again

Another poem designed for revenge

Now I′m living the nightmare again

And it won't end

For-for-forgiving

For-for-forgetting

For-for-forgiving

For-for-forgetting

It might have looked like love, but it tasted a lot like blood

What is it like to be the apple of your own eye?

Always loved, always seen

Always gratified, always heard

Always safe, always satisfied

An ugly song came from a ballad for a friend

If beauty is in the eye of the beholder, it never ends

I was no sweet dream, but I was never a nightmare

I'm glad that we can all now stop pretending that you cared

I was no sweet dream, but I was never a nightmare

I love it when you talk about it to people who weren′t here

The arrogance and narcissism laid bare

I was no sweet dream, but I was never a nightmare

I′ve been singing that song again

Another ballad that won't make amends

It′s been giving me nightmares again

And they don't end

I′ve been singing along again

Another poem designed for revenge

Now I'm living the nightmare again

And it won′t end

For-for-forgiving

For-for-forgetting

For-for-forgiving

For-for-forgetting

For-for-forgiving

For-for-forgetting

For-for-forgiving

For-for-forgetting
