Nightmare
Kris Lawrence Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Baby, Baby, Baby
I Know You Gotta be the Best
Thing for me Lady
No, I Never Meant to Make You Cry
But I Apologize for Every Single Lie
Cuz Sometimes, I let my
I let my Pride get the Best of Me
But this Time, I Know I was Wrong
I Know You Gotta be the Best

So whatever I gotta do to get you back
Baby I'll do
Just tell me what it is
And Baby I promise I'll do it for you

I'd rather be asleep and dream about you
Than awake and be without you
I'd rather sleep and daydream
Than to be without my Baby
Without You, You, You
Oh oh
Without You
I'm so scared
It's like living in a nightmare

So if were breakin up
Don't wake me up
Just let me sleep
Cuz in my dreams we were just makin love
We were so happy
So how do we go
From Utopia to this tragedy
Pls pls don't wake me up
If this nightmare is really happening
Oh baby there is nothing cool
About being alone




Baby I hate waking up everyday
When I know you're gone

He never should have been released from prison, 7 years for murdering his wife? What the hell?

@jetsfan1957

@Sweet Faith...I know it's ridiculous!!!!... I Love my brothers and sisters in the U.K. but it seems to me they are way way to lax on prison terms!!!... Especially major crimes!!.. They need to toughen laws... and for god sake let the law officers carry firearms!!!.. Every time I watch shows about British cops I cringe knowing they have no backup against brutal criminals!!!

@bet3640

@jetsfan1957 He received 7years in Latvia for murdering his wife, not the uk.

@Hak_Hyuna4859

It’s in Latvia 🇱🇻

@afcwfcwfc

Or maybe at the time he should have not been allowed into the uk ?

@ellymay1455

@afcwfc61 wfc77 so why was he allowed to enter the UK. It’s disgusting

@piperjaycie

Here’s an idea. Anyone convicted of murder/rape/kidnapping etc is either not allowed out of prison and failing that definitely not allowed out of their country!

@jetsfan1957

@SazRob...Couldn't agree more!!!.. But definitely like the first idea more then the second!!!😉

@sabyya

But you've to consider the WRONGLY convicted too. Imagine their lives

@bcdl7961

More importantly why are criminals allowed to live in the UK? Doesn't immigration do some sort of background investigation?
