WIDE AWAKE IN A NIGHTMARE
By Seywrld
VERSE 1
I wake up gasping in a room full of poison,
Your name stitched like a scar in my mind.
I gave you my heart, now it won’t behave,
Love turned feral, crossed every line.
Ignored all the signs, trusted the feeling,
Put my soul in your hands like you’d keep it safe.
You walked away clean like I was a phase,
I’m still here replaying every frame.
PRE-CHORUS
I try to move on, I swear that I try,
But you still live where the silence lies.
CHORUS
I’m wide awake in a nightmare,
Running from you, but you’re everywhere.
Love cut deep, now I’m stuck right here,
Wide awake in a nightmare. (x2)
VERSE 2
I hear your voice in the hum of the room,
Smell your perfume in the ghost of June.
I numb the pain to feel okay,
But the high fades fast, the hurt stays.
Built my future on words you faked,
Thought you were real, thought you’d stay.
You handed my heart back, cracked in half,
Now every touch feels like an attack.
PRE-CHORUS
I erase your name, it reappears,
You’re gone, but you never leave here.
CHORUS
I’m wide awake in a nightmare,
Running from you, but you’re everywhere.
Love cut deep, now I’m stuck right here,
Wide awake in a nightmare. (x2)
BRIDGE
You felt like heaven on my skin,
But hell moved in when I let you in.
Now love feels dangerous, trust feels fake,
I flinch at promises people make.
I don’t miss you — I miss who I was,
Before, your name meant pain and drugs.
FINAL CHORUS
I’m wide awake in a nightmare,
Running from you, but you’re everywhere.
Love cut deep, now I’m stuck right here,
Wide awake in a nightmare.
Wide awake…
In a nightmare.
OUTRO
If this was love, it cut too deep.
I’m still breathing… barely me.
Eyes wide open, no escape—
I'm living inside this nightmare.
