Only a Nightmare

Only a Nightmare - The Traditionist

Can't things be back the way they were

Can't we try to turn the pages

We lost our love when said you needed to grow

I said how come you said I don't know

Cause every afternoon I'd call to see

How you were or maybe to hear that you need me

Ask you what you bought or what someone else had said

It'll be okay baby it's only in your head

You loved me more than anyone would see

I told you that you'd leave me but you never agreed

And I never think nor look nor believe much in hanging on

Cause my dreams are still breaking down with the dawn

Every early morning when you'd wake me up

You made late night exceptions when I woke you up drunk

Never did I think nor look nor to see between the lines

My love for you darling was unsurprisingly blind

And somehow the black and white eye blindfold untied

Wrapped me up gone put me out and took a hold of my spine

Now I'm there again beside you and I don't know what to do

I don't know how to feel anymore after the pain you put me through

Every night the lights will shine down on this

But the sunlight in the morning next to you is where I'll miss

And I'll ask you why you screamed last night in a dream and you'll insist

It was only a nightmare and our love now still exists

Can't things be back to the way they were

Can't we try to turn the pages

Can't love go back to from where it came

Can't any one thing be the same

Can't any one thing be the same
