I Dreamed A Nightmare

I used to dream about you
Twenty-four hours a day
I thought that you were perfect
And for that I have to pay

I wanted you so badly
More than anything before
And when I finally got you
There was nothing I wanted more

Things were perfect for a while
Like my own fairytale
But then I noticed differences
And I felt the betrayal

You were nothing like I thought you were
A devil behind that smile
I knew I'd made a huge mistake
Your character was vile

I wanted to be free of you
But you wouldn't let me go
I begged and begged, I was on my knees
But all you said was no

The tears fell down my face so much
But that only made you mad
And all I seemed to think about
Was the life I should have had

You twisted my mind to make me think
I was the one to blame
You didn't care how much it hurt
To you it was just a game

Somehow I managed to break free
To counteract your curse
But inside I still feel all messed up
And you only make it worse

And I've tried to stop my dreaming
I really wouldn't dare
Because it's really not that hard to see
I dreamed a nightmare
