Nightmare
The Sad Boy Project Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

They say where there is light there are shadows
I'm standing alone in the dark
People tell me to wake up
But they don't know how it is
For me
All the time
Wake me up
Break me free
Make me breath again
Wake me up
Break me free
Make me breath again
Wake me up
Break me free
Make me breath again
Wake me up
Break me free
All my life I've been told
And I still don't have any clues
Why do I keep ending up here
Don't know what say or to do
My life is
On a loop
Wake me up
Break me free
Make me breath again
Wake me up
Break me free
Make me breath again
Wake me up
Break me free
Make me breath again
Wake me up
Break me free
Wake me up
Break me free
Make me breath again
Wake me up
Break me free
Make me breath again
Wake me up
Break me free
Make me breath again




Wake me up
Break me free
