Sweet Nightmares Leaving

Anastasia screamed
"It’s too late now
Why don’t you let me go?"
Just leave me alone now
They all want a part of me

What do you want from me?
What do you need from me?
I don’t really want
To talk to you no more

It doesn’t really hurt me
I don’t know why you want me
I’m not quite the one
That you wanted me to be

Your pain is a shadow
Of your wound
What do you expect me
To give back into you?

Chorus

Too many dreams and
Too many nights
With too many fights
Over too many rights
And too many wrongs
Living too many songs
Too many fears for
Too many gods
Too many hopes
I’ve locked inside
Too many lies that
I can’t hide
Too many words for
Too many songs

Do you remember?
I’m sure you remember
A time with a kiss on
The hand that feeds, or
A song from the
Dreams of a few
By the river who sit on
Their hands and
Watch the dead float by
Watch the dead float by

I hope you come
Across them soon
To make your Nightmares sweet
Come and sit
As we return you
To the sin

Someone left your
Cake out in the rain
But don’t blame me
I didn’t take it and
I definitely
Didn’t make it

(Chorus)

Fall in love with
Long distance
And you wish to
Travel light
For the darkness
Here won’t feed you
And too many tears
To drown you
As they wash
Into the river
And you try
To walk on water
And the flood comes
Rushing over
To drown your path
With sorrow
That you’ve tried
To leave behind you
But they don’t want
You to leave them
And they want
You to discover
That their love for
You is stronger
But your love for
Them is over
And they don’t
Want to believe you
And you try your
Best to leave them
So your stride gets
Strong and longer
And you walk
Across the water
And you hope not
To return here
And you leave her
In the water
All alone

Don’t ask me my name now
I probably don’t know
Sweet nightmares Leaving in the
Water all alone
