Leave my Dreams Alone

Verse One

Two a.m.
Shadows cross my wall.
All I see
the ghost of you’s sneaking up the hall.

Verse Two

One more night.
Think I’ll lose my mind.
All I wanna to do
Is leave all trace of you behind.

Pre-Chorus

This should be over.
You should be gone.
But you keep on hanging on and on.

Chorus

I don’t wanna sleep!
Scared you’ll follow me in my dreams.
I’m fine when I’m awake,
but every night nothing’s as it seems.
And it’s time for you to leave.
Leave my dreams alone.

Verse Three

I’m addicted.
Need to stay away.
You’re no good.
You’re always leading me astray.

Pre-Chorus

This should be over.
You should be gone.
But you keep on hanging on and on.

Chorus

I don’t wanna sleep!
Scared you’ll follow me in my dreams.
I’m fine when I’m awake,
but every night nothing’s as it seems.
And it’s time for you to leave.
Leave my dreams alone.

Bridge

There was a time when you pushed me higher.
And I was flying through my castles in the air.
But now the nightmare’s never over.
Close my eyes and you’re still there.

Chorus

I don’t wanna sleep!
Scared you’ll follow me in my dreams.
I’m fine when I’m awake,
but every night nothing’s as it seems.
And it’s time for you to leave.
Leave my dreams alone.
