In My Dreams
Rebecca Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been feeling
Don't wanna feel this
I hate the memories we made, mm

I got secrets
Been up so sleepless
I need these memories to change
I'm gonna make it stop
(Da da da da da)
I'm gonna turn it off
(Da da da da da)
'Cause I've had way too much
(Da da da da da)
I'm gonna turn it off, turn it off

Reprogramming our history so its
Perfect in my mind
Changing the way it ended so you
Never see me cry

Better in my memory
One place that you'll never leave
Turn you into what I need, what I need
You're better in my memory, memory, memory

Something's missing
The plot needs twisting
Replace these thoughts in my head
The truth needs Fixing
Our time rewritten
The good things we never did

Reprogramming our history so its
Perfect in my mind
Changing the way it ended so you
Never see me cry

Better in my memory
One place that you'll never leave
Turn you into what I need, what I need
You're better in my memory, memory, memory

You're better in my memory, memory, memory
One place that you'll never leave, never leave
Turn you into what I need, what I need
What I need, what I need
What I need, what I-what I
Better in my memo-memo-memory
One place that you'll never leave
Turn you into what I need, what I need
Better in my memo-memo-memory, memo-memo-memory

Bring me to my
Oh, you bring me to my knees
Forget every
I'm forgetting everything

Bring me to my
Oh, you bring me to my knees




Forget every
I'm forgetting everything
