Coma
Taylor Acorn Cassadee Pope Lyrics

How the hell did I get here?
I am questioning how I ended up in this situation.

What's the day? What's the year?
I am disoriented and unsure of the current date.

I barely recognize this bed that I just woke up in
I feel unfamiliar and out of place in my surroundings.

You dress yourself up as a dream
You presented yourself as something desirable and perfect.

Sweet talked 'til I fell asleep
You used persuasive words and flattery to manipulate me into trusting you.

Convinced myself it was more peaceful just letting you in
I convinced myself that it was easier and less tumultuous to allow you into my life.

Hid your red flags well and damn, I bought it
You concealed your warning signs effectively, and I fell for it completely.

'Cause I spent four years in knowing what I wanted
I invested significant time in understanding my desires and goals.

I might as well have been dead
My existence felt lifeless and devoid of meaning.

The way you fucked with my head
You played mind games and manipulated my thoughts and emotions.

Couldn't tell up from down
I was confused and disoriented, unable to distinguish right from wrong.

No voice to make a sound
I was silenced and unable to express myself or speak up.

I must've not been awake
I must have been unaware of the truth and blinded to your actions.

Too numb to see your mistakes
I was emotionally numb, unable to recognize the errors and faults in your behavior.

You probably liked it that way, hey
You likely enjoyed having control over me and keeping me oblivious.

I blame myself, I should've known
I hold myself responsible for not realizing the truth sooner.

I must've been stuck in a coma
Metaphorically, I must have been trapped and oblivious to the reality of the situation.

The hold you had on me, it disappeared
Your grip and influence over me vanished suddenly.

It's like the curtains opened up and let the sunlight in
The truth was revealed, and clarity illuminated my life.

(Now I see you for the person you are)
I now understand your true nature and intentions.

(You only wanted me when I was in the dark)
You were only interested in me when I was vulnerable and unaware.

You had the advantage, yeah, you were conscious
You possessed power and awareness while I was oblivious.

(That I was walkin' 'round nearly unresponsive)
I was moving through life unaware and almost entirely unresponsive to my surroundings.

Hid the red flags well and damn, I bought it
You successfully concealed the warning signs, and I fell for the deception.

Can't get those four years back but damn, I wanna
I cannot reclaim the time I spent, but I deeply desire to do so.

I blame myself, I should've known
I hold myself accountable for not recognizing the truth earlier.

I should've known
I should have been aware and cautious.

I might as well have been dead
I felt as if I were lifeless and without purpose.

The way you fucked with my head
You messed with my mind and emotions.

Couldn't tell up from down
I couldn't differentiate between what was right and wrong.

No voice to make a sound (make a sound)
I was silenced and unable to express myself.

I must've not been awake
I must have been unaware and ignorant of the truth.

Too numb to see your mistakes
Emotionally desensitized, I couldn't recognize your wrongdoings.

You probably liked it that way, hey
You possibly enjoyed having control over me in that state.

I blame myself, I should've known
I hold myself accountable for not realizing the truth earlier.

I must've been stuck in a coma
Metaphorically, I must have been trapped and oblivious to the reality of the situation.

I should've known (should've known, should have known)
I should have been aware and cautious throughout.
