"Dreams and Nightmares" is a melancholic song blending the soulful style of Bruno Mars, the emotive sentiment of Justin Bieber, and the raw, alternative edge of Cage The Elephant. The track delves into the dichotomy of a perfect love turned problematic, exploring the heartache when dreams clash with reality.
Verse 1:
She was a diamond, so perfectly bright
A shooting star racing through my darkest night
In my arms, she was the sweetest lullaby
But I was the thunder echoing in her skies
Chorus:
She was a dream, oh so serene
Caught in the moonlight's gentle gleam
But I'm a nightmare, haunting her sleep
A love so deep, now it makes her weep
Verse 2:
We danced with shadows, whispers in the glow
Her smile a sunrise, I should've let her know
She saw the future inside my troubled soul
But couldn’t tame the storm I couldn't control
Chorus:
She was a dream, oh so serene
Caught in the moonlight's gentle gleam
But I'm a nightmare, haunting her sleep
A love so deep, now it makes her weep
Bridge:
Now I'm lost in the echoes of what we were
Her laughter fading in the blur
If I could turn back time, make her stay
I'd chase my demons away, her light would never fade
Chorus:
She was a dream, oh so serene
Caught in the moonlight's gentle gleam
But I'm a nightmare, haunting her sleep
A love so deep, now it makes her weep
Outro:
She was a dream, I was a nightmare
Now shadows linger, memories still there
In this tangled dream, I swear
I'd be her saving grace, not her despair

She was a dream, but I was a nightmare
