[Verse 1]
I don’t miss your voice
I don’t miss the weight
I don’t miss the waiting
For you to change
But I drive past places
And I still go quiet
Not for you—
Just for what I was in it
[Pre-Chorus] (whisper)
I don’t want you back
I just want it clear
[Chorus]
Was I the nightmare?
Was I the monster in your head?
It’s not that I miss you
I don’t
But I loved you once, I swear
And that messes with what’s left
So tell me, in that story
Was I the nightmare?
[Verse 2]
I can list your flaws
Like lines in a song
I can say I’m better
And it won’t be wrong
But at two a.m.
I replay the moments
Where I got loud
Where I went cold
Where I broke something
[Pre-Chorus] (whisper)
I don’t want your touch
I want the truth
[Chorus]
Was I the nightmare?
Was I the monster in your head?
It’s not that I miss you
I don’t
But I loved you once, I swear
And that messes with what’s left
So tell me, in that story
Was I the nightmare?
[Bridge] (floaty, minimal)
Maybe we were wrong
Maybe we were young
Maybe love can hurt
Without anyone being one
[Final Chorus] (lift)
Was I the nightmare?
Was I the monster in your head?
It’s not that I miss you
I don’t
But I loved you once, I swear
And that messes with what’s left
So if I’m honest…
Yeah, I wonder…
Was I the nightmare?
