Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] I didn’t fall in love at first sight But I wanted to I tried to believe You were soft hands Slow nights Somewhere I could finally breathe You laughed And the room felt smaller In the best way I leaned into you Gave my secrets like spare dollars Thought you’d hold them like they’re new [Chorus] I was dreaming You were a nightmare Wrapped in a daydream Said you would stay there I felt safe Till you slipped Till you changed I was dreaming You’re a nightmare driving me insane (yeah) [Verse 2] You were sweet talk Sharp edges Looked like shelter Felt like a trap Every promise had conditions Every hug had strings attached I kept painting over warning signs Called it “complicated ” called it “fate” You kept crossing every boundary line Smiled and said I overstate [Chorus] I was dreaming You were a nightmare Wrapped in a daydream Said you would stay there I felt safe Till you slipped Till you changed I was dreaming You’re a nightmare driving me insane [Bridge] Now I’m wide awake at 3 a.m Replaying every little thing you said (you said) How did I miss it every time You were in my bed But out your mind [Chorus] I was dreaming You were a nightmare Wrapped in a daydream Said you would stay there I felt safe Till you slipped Till you changed I was dreaming You’re a nightmare driving me insane [Outro] Didn’t fall in love at first sight Guess my heart still tried anyway You were never what I thought you might Just a bad dream I had to escape

Moody R&B ballad over sparse piano and warm sub bass; intimate female vocals really close to the mic, with soft pads that swell into the chorus. Verses stay hushed and conversational; chorus hits wider with stacked harmonies and a simple, steady drum groove. Final hook pulls instruments back for a bare, confessional outro.
