Little Nightmares

[Verse 1]

I know you know I know

That there's something that's worth holding on to

In spite of the burned-out scene and the aging pains

And the quiet little monsters

And you know I know you know

That I feel the same, I feel just like you do

When I hear you say sometimes

There's something pure about growing up lonesome

[Pre-Chorus]

And all my life, I was the quiet kind

I just kept to myself and my dreamin'

And all my life, I've just tried to survive

I'm not trying to shut you out

[Chorus]

And she says, "I just wanna live

And if I get the chance, then I would wanna live again

But I get this nightmare where you leave me on my own

And all I want is to let you know

But my words get lost and haunt the back of my throat

And little nightmares keep telling me you'll go

Keep telling me you'll go"

[Verse 2]

I see you shake and shake and shake and shake

And I wanna reach out now

'Cause there must be a brighter light

There's a simple life that gets past these breakdowns

And you know that I know you know

That I crash the same, in tiny little pieces

You gotta know that I'm on your side

And there's something gold about someone you can bleed on

[Pre-Chorus]

And all my life, I was the killing kind

I was cruel as the cold, stormy weather

And all my life, I've just tried to survive

I'm not trying to shut you out

[Chorus]

And she says, "I just wanna live

And if I get the chance, then I would wanna live again

But I get this nightmare where you leave me on my own

And all I want is to let you know

But my words get lost and haunt the back of my throat

And little nightmares keep telling me you'll go

Keep telling me you'll go"

[Bridge]

Don't you know there's an ocean of hope

Underneath the grey sky where you're dreaming?

And it's so hard to know which lonely hand you should hold

But you can hold me until you don't want me

And we can cry together through the bad dreams

We can cry together through the bad dreams

We can cry together through the bad dreams

We can cry together through the bad dreams

Through the nightmare that is the waiting, and

[Chorus]

And she says, "I just wanna live (like that)

And if we get the chance, then I would wanna live again

But I get this nightmare where you leave me on my own"

(Goodbye, baby)

"And all I want is to let you know

But my words get lost and haunt the back of my throat

But wild horses couldn't drag me away"

(From you, baby)

[Chorus]

She says, "I just wanna live

And if we get the chance, then I would wanna live again

But I get this nightmare where you leave me on my own

Where you leave me on my own"
