Nightmare
Romeo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In my nightmares
In my nightmares
In my nightmares
In my nightmares
Now I only see you in my nightmares
I thought you were here not over there
The reciprocation was all unfair
So it feels like you never even cared
Now I only see you in my nightmares
I wish you were here not over there
I can't sleep got me gasping for air
Waking up to find out you're nowhere
She's haunting me again like paranormal activity
Thrashing while I sleep I can see her in my dreams
Every day of the week I've been smoking chronically
Just to ease the pain then I fall asleep
She's haunting me again like paranormal activity
Thrashing while I sleep can I be set free?
Every day of the week I've been smoking chronically
I know that you just want to watch me bleed
Now I only see you in my nightmares
I thought you were here not over there
The reciprocation was all unfair
So it feels like you never even cared
Now I only see you in my nightmares
I wish you were here not over there
I can't sleep got me gasping for air
Waking up to find out you're nowhere
Why am I so in love?
You got me hooked like a drug
I can't fucking get enough
But you gave up on us
Because I'm just too much
So I pour up two cups
Fuck being sobered up
I'm rolling up some more blunts
I cannot get you off my mind
You're all I think of through the night
Without you I don't ever feel right
Come back into my fucking life
I guess all we had was a fun ride
All you ever wanted was a short time
Guess you think I'm just like the last guy
You must not know anything about my life
Always getting high but I'm on my grind
Weed keeps the scenes from flashing in my mind
I'll be alright with more green for my appetite
I fall over and over again but I won't take my life
Now I only see you in my nightmares
In my nightmares




Now I only see you in my nightmares
In my nightmares

They know that being without this person isn't right and can't get them off their mind.
