[Verse 1]
I didn’t fall in love at first sight
But I wanted to
I tried to believe
You were soft hands
Slow nights
Somewhere I could finally breathe
You laughed
And the room felt smaller
In the best way
I leaned into you
Gave my secrets like spare dollars
Thought you’d hold them like they’re new
[Chorus]
I was dreaming
You were a nightmare
Wrapped in a daydream
Said you would stay there
I felt safe
Till you slipped
Till you changed
I was dreaming
You’re a nightmare driving me insane (yeah)
[Verse 2]
You were sweet talk
Sharp edges
Looked like shelter
Felt like a trap
Every promise had conditions
Every hug had strings attached
I kept painting over warning signs
Called it “complicated
” called it “fate”
You kept crossing every boundary line
Smiled and said I overstate
[Chorus]
I was dreaming
You were a nightmare
Wrapped in a daydream
Said you would stay there
I felt safe
Till you slipped
Till you changed
I was dreaming
You’re a nightmare driving me insane
[Bridge]
Now I’m wide awake at 3 a.m
Replaying every little thing you said (you said)
How did I miss it every time
You were in my bed
But out your mind
[Chorus]
I was dreaming
You were a nightmare
Wrapped in a daydream
Said you would stay there
I felt safe
Till you slipped
Till you changed
I was dreaming
You’re a nightmare driving me insane
[Outro]
Didn’t fall in love at first sight
Guess my heart still tried anyway
You were never what I thought you might
Just a bad dream I had to escape
