Nightmares

You're like a deer in the headlights
What I said you didn't wanna believe
You're so inane and misguided
You won't get the best of me

Well I can't help that it's not worth it
You had your chance and you missed out
You couldn't change me and don't mistake me
I'm not someone who will back down

Oh, Oh

Last night I saw that your intentions were relentless
Relentless!
What makes you think I won't fight back?
I'm outstretched,
But you're outmatched!
So here we are, make your move
But you don't have what it takes
I'm on the edge and I don't care
I never said that I'd fight fair
I'm awaiting the next provocation
It's not me, you just love the fixation

You could break me in every way
You could bring me right to my knees
By the time you count to three
I'll be standing on my own two feet
You're the nightmare that's chasin' me
You could tear away all my dreams
I'll show you what it means to scream
When I'm standing on my own two feet
My own two feet

The skies disguised like you with all your charm
'Til lightening hits the ground
I can't believe you thought I'd save you
When you'd just let me drown

Wake up 'cause you're not listening
Tell me what it is that you fail to see
I won't let you destroy this
You're just a self-fulfilling prophecy

You could break me in every way
You could bring me right to my knees
By the time you count to three
I'll be standing on my own two feet
You're the nightmare that's chasin' me
You could tear away all my dreams
I'll show you what it means to scream
When I'm standing on my own two feet
My own two feet

Is that all you've got?
Try to bring me down, let's see how far you get
Just walk away, you're too little too late
And that was your last mistake

You can't take away part of me, my dreams
Your voice meaningless
I'm what you'll never be
You're not what I made up
A figment of a dream
You said you'd bring me to my knees
These foot prints in the ground
No I'm never fallin' down
When will you see
(These footprints in the ground)
I'm done playin' these games, screamin' in vain
(No I'm never falling)
Waiting for you to hear me
(down)

You could break me in every way
You could bring me right to my knees
By the time you count to three
I'll be standing on my own two feet
You're the nightmare that's chasin' me
You could tear away all my dreams
(tear away all my dreams)
I'll show you what it means to scream
When I'm standing on my own two feet
My own two feet

You're the nightmare chasin' me
A figment of a dream
You're not what I made up
You said you'd bring me to my knees
Now I'm standing on my feet
