My Nightmare Lyrics

Every time I can’t get to sleep
I struggle with my conscience
Promises I cannot keep
Running out of patience

[Prechorus]:
Every time I sleep I cannot keep my sanity (Sanity)
Every time I wake I cannot fake my anxiety

[Chorus]:
This is my nightmare – this is not a dream
This is my nightmare – this is not a dream

Fighting through the dead of the night
Waiting for the sun
Waking in a state of fright
Nowhere left to run

[Prechorus]
Every time I sleep I cannot keep my sanity (Sanity)
Every time I wake I cannot fake my anxiety

[Chorus]:
This is my nightmare – this is not a dream
This is my nightmare – this is not a dream

Try to dream of sunshine – all I see is rain
Senseless aggravation – messing with my brain
Messing with my brain

[Prechorus]
Every time I sleep I cannot keep my sanity (Sanity)
Every time I wake I cannot fake my anxiety

[Chorus]
This is my nightmare – this is not a dream
This is my nightmare – this is not a dream
This is my nightmare – this is not a dream
This is my nightmare

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
