Last night you felt alive oh how these nightmares do lie
Picked myself up out of bed and prayed to God you'd leave my head
We try to forget our past lives
But they return to us in dreams and the pain is relived
Will we grow or will this sorrow remain until the end
Like a flame that burns within
We live and we love and we learn
To burn all of the things that lead us astray
With tired eyes and a worn out heart
That beats on into the day till the memory washes away
I wish you the best of the rest of your perfect little life
I'm sure you'll make a fairy tale wife
But go on home leave me alone
You've wasted enough of my time running a fool through my mind
Last night you felt alive oh how these nightmares do lie
Lay myself back down to sleep and pray to God we never meet
