Every morning feels the same
Open my eyes, but nothing’s changed
Walking on eggshells through the day
Trying not to make you rage
You smile while you sharpen every knife
Cut me down and call it love
Tell me I’m the reason why
The sky keeps falling from above
You say I’m crazy
You say it’s me
But I’m losing pieces of who I used to be
This life feels like a nightmare I can’t wake up from
A dark room with no windows and nowhere left to run
I’m screaming underwater, but nobody hears the sound
You keep pulling me under while pretending not to drown
You stole the colors from my world
Turned my heart into a ghost
I’m trapped inside this nightmare
With the person I loved most
You rewrite every memory
Until I don’t know what is true
I apologize for things
That I never meant to do
You tell me no one else would stay
That I’m lucky you’re around
But every word you throw at me
Leaves another bruise I can’t count
You say I’m broken
You say I’m weak
But the strongest thing I’ve done is survive another week
This life feels like a nightmare I can’t wake up from
A dark room with no windows and nowhere left to run
I’m screaming underwater, but nobody hears the sound
You keep pulling me under while pretending not to drown
You stole the colors from my world
Turned my heart into a ghost
I’m trapped inside this nightmare
With the person I loved most
Maybe one day I’ll remember
Who I was before the fear
Before I learned to make myself smaller
Just to keep the peace in here
Maybe one day I’ll find a door
Hidden in these shattered walls
And when the sunlight hits my face
I won’t answer when you call
This life felt like a nightmare I couldn’t wake up from
But somewhere in the darkness I remembered who I’ve become
A fighter in the silence
A survivor of the storm
And the chains that held me captive
Don’t fit me anymore
You stole the colors from my world
But they’re coming back somehow
The nightmare’s losing power
And I’m waking up now
I’m waking up now…
I’m waking up now…
You don’t get to haunt my dreams forever.
