lyrics
What if I have a child and he has nightmares?
What if my daughter can’t sleep cause she’s so scared of a man dressed in black outside her window?
What if I just decide to leave them alone?
But I can’t
And I won’t
You’re comatose
And I’m a joke
Nobody knows how bad it hurts when I’m alone
You stood, looking at me, like I saw you in my dreams
You said “I can’t believe all that my eyes see, you make my heart bleed when you stare back at me”
