Perfect Nightmare Lyrics
Sometimes we fight
Sometimes I cry
Why don't I just tell him goodbye
Sometimes I should
But sometimes I don't
Build up the strength to say that it's wrong
Sometimes I hate
Sometimes I love
Sometimes I hurt
Sometimes I don't
Sometimes I wait
For him to change
But it's okay
I've disguised the pain
And I don't ever wanna leave him alone
They say I'm brainwashed
But I'm in love
With this man
Yeah
Keep tellin' myself
That it's not worth it
I already know I don't deserve it
But if it's from you
I don't mind hurtin'
This is my perfect nightmare
So when will I wake up and scream
No way (x7)
But if it's from you
I don't mind hurtin'
This is my perfect nightmare
Perfect nightmare
Sometimes I keep it cool
Sometimes I let him know
Sometimes I even pack my bags
To walk out the door
Sometimes I feel safe
Sometimes I really don't
Sometimes I promise that
I'm ready to let him go
But I don't wanna leave him alone
They say I'm brainwashed
But I'm in love
With this man
Ohh oh
Keep tellin' myself that it's not worth it
I already know I don't deserve it
But if it's from you I don't mind hurtin'
This is my perfect nightmare
So when will I wake up and scream
No way (x7)
But if it's from you I don't mind hurting
This is my perfect nightmare
Perfect nightmare
Hopin' he's changin'
But I'm scared he's not
Can't see a way to leave
Help me open my ways
Keep tellin' myself that it's not worth it
I already know I don't deserve it
But if it's from you I don't mind hurtin'
This is my perfect nightmare
Perfect
Keep tellin' myself that it's not worth it
I already know I don't deserve it
But if it's from you I don't mind hurtin'
This is my perfect nightmare
So when will I wake up and scream
No way (x7)
But if it's from you I don't mind hurting
This is my perfect nightmare
Perfect nightmare
No way (x7)
But if it's from you I don't mind hurting
This is my perfect nightmare
Perfect nightmare
Perfect nightmare
Sometimes I cry
Why don't I just tell him goodbye
Sometimes I should
But sometimes I don't
Build up the strength to say that it's wrong
Sometimes I hate
Sometimes I love
Sometimes I hurt
Sometimes I don't
Sometimes I wait
For him to change
But it's okay
I've disguised the pain
And I don't ever wanna leave him alone
They say I'm brainwashed
But I'm in love
With this man
Yeah
That it's not worth it
I already know I don't deserve it
But if it's from you
I don't mind hurtin'
This is my perfect nightmare
So when will I wake up and scream
But if it's from you
I don't mind hurtin'
This is my perfect nightmare
Perfect nightmare
Sometimes I let him know
Sometimes I even pack my bags
To walk out the door
Sometimes I feel safe
Sometimes I really don't
Sometimes I promise that
I'm ready to let him go
But I don't wanna leave him alone

I already know I don't deserve it
But if it's from you I don't mind hurtin'
This is my perfect nightmare

Her and her boyfriend fight a lot. They're relationship has been the ultimate roller coaster ride. She usually just puts up with what he does, but from time to time she gets the strength to tell him that what he is doing to her is wrong. She waits for him to change but he never does. But the last thing she wants to do is leave him. And deep down she knows that even if he never changes, she never will. All of the people around her think she's crazy, but really she's just in love with him. She knows that she doesn't deserve all of the pain. But she knows that the pain is worth it if she stays with him in the long run. It's her perfect nightmare being in love with someone who she knows that she should just get over. She wonders when it'll finally hit, and she'll decide that she's had enough. She even packs her bags to leave and tells herself that she's ready to. But then she ends up changing her mind because she knows that she can't take it. She isn't ready. She has never truly (woken up). She hopes that he's slowly changing but she knows that he probably isn't. She wants something to finally open her eyes to this because she can't do it by herself.
An_Aesop indeed
this song really stands out to me cause I can relate to it & because I have my own perfect nightmare. I think this song is about loving someone who's wrong for you or isn't yours. You know deep down inside that how they're treating you is wrong or that the situation is wrong itself but for some reason you can't let go but you're trying to build up the strength to let them go for good.
