Nightmare
Leadley Lyrics

High, high, high
The singer is feeling high, either from drugs or from the excitement of being with the person they're singing about.

Got me on a high, high, high
The person they're singing about is the one who is responsible for making them feel this way.

You were sweet
At the beginning of their relationship, the person they're singing about seemed kind and caring.

For the week on halloween (on it)
The relationship began around Halloween and only lasted for a short time.

Showed me off
The person they're singing about liked to show off their relationship to others.

Turned me on
The singer was attracted to the person they're singing about and felt a strong physical connection to them.

Then turned your cheek
Suddenly, the person they're singing about stopped paying attention to them and became aloof.

And by the time we hit December
As time went on and their relationship progressed, the person they're singing about became increasingly more distant.

I remember you were different
The person they're singing about changed from the kind and loving partner they initially knew.

You picked your days, always around her
The person they're singing about started to prioritize someone else over them and only spent time with the artist when it was convenient for them.

For your lonely
The person they're singing about was only with the singer because they were lonely or had nothing else to do.

I was ignorant
The artist was unaware of the person they're singing about's true intentions and feelings for them.

Falling for you for is the real nightmare
Being in love with the person they're singing about has turned into a nightmare for the singer.

Oh my god I'm so scared
The singer is frightened of the relationship they're in with the person they're singing about.

How the hell I get here?
The singer is questioning how they ended up in this relationship and why they didn't see the warning signs earlier.

And I'm under your spell
The person they're singing about has a powerful hold over the artist.

On the highway to hell
The artist feels like they're headed towards destruction because of their relationship with the person they're singing about.

March was when
Another significant event in their relationship occurred in March.

I bumped into your old girlfriend
The singer met the person they're singing about's ex-girlfriend, who they depict as kind and caring.

Kindest girl I think that I have ever met
The artist thinks that the ex-girlfriend is one of the nicest people they've ever met.

You made her out a physco, fuck this hurts
The person they're singing about bad-mouthed their ex-girlfriend and made her out to be crazy, which hurt the artist.

All the things you did to me and her, no
The artist knows that the person they're singing about treated them and his ex-girlfriend poorly.

Like Vicodin
The person they're singing about is addictive and toxic like drugs.

You make me sick
The artist is disgusted by the person they're singing about and their behavior.

Keep chasing her
The person they're singing about is still trying to win back his ex-girlfriend.

And by the time we hit September
As time went on, the person they're singing about remained the same and did not change his behavior.

For your temper
The person they're singing about was only with the singer when he wasn't angry or upset.

Falling for you is the real nightmare
Being in love with the person they're singing about has turned into a nightmare for the artist.

And I'm under your spell
The person they're singing about has a powerful hold over the artist.

What are you doing poking all my bruises?
The person they're singing about knows they've hurt the singer, but still comes around and brings up painful memories.

I thought we were having fun
The singer thought that their relationship was enjoyable and light-hearted at first, but now realizes it was a mistake.

The devil is a charmer
The person they're singing about is devious and manipulative, like the devil.

All hands for your performance
The artist feels like they're watching a show or performance put on by the person they're singing about.

Cherub with a loaded gun
The person they're singing about looks innocent and sweet, but is dangerous and deadly underneath it all.

Highway to hell
The singer feels like they're on a path towards destruction because of their relationship with the person they're singing about.
