Halsey - Nightmare (Lyrics)

[00:01.67] Now I lay me down to sleep

[00:04.17] I pray the Lord, my soul to keep

[00:05.92] If I shall die before I 'wake

[00:08.93] I pray the Lord, my soul to take

[00:12.66] I, I keep a record of the wreckage of my life

[00:17.17] I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind

[00:20.42] They talk shit, but I love it every time

[00:23.91] And I realize

[00:27.42] I've tasted blood and it is sweet

[00:29.43] I've had the rug pulled beneath my feet

[00:33.16] I've trusted lies and trusted men

[00:36.44] Broke down and put myself back together again

[00:39.40] Stared in the mirror and punched it to shatters

[00:42.42] Collected the pieces and picked out a dagger

[00:45.92] I've pinched my skin in between my two fingers

[00:49.18] And wished I could cut some parts off with some scissors

[00:52.67] "Come on, little lady, give us a smile"

[00:55.42] No, I ain't got nothin' to smile about

[00:58.18] I got no one to smile for, I waited a while for

[01:02.18] A moment to say I don't owe you a goddamn thing

[01:06.15] I, I keep a record of the wreckage of my life

[01:09.92] I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind

[01:12.91] They talk shit, but I love it every time

[01:16.42] And I realize

[01:18.93] I'm no sweet dream, but I'm a hell of a night

[01:24.92] That I'm no sweet dream, but I'm a hell of a night

[01:32.20] No, I won't smile, but I'll show you my teeth

[01:35.18] And I'ma let you speak if you just let me breathe

[01:38.66] I've been polite, but won't be caught dead

[01:41.93] Lettin' a man tell me what I should do in my bed

[01:45.17] Keep my exes in check in my basement

[01:48.69] 'Cause kindness is weakness, or worse, you're complacent

[01:51.42] I could play nice or I could be a bully

[01:54.69] I'm tired and angry, but somebody should be

[01:57.92] "Come on, little lady, give us a smile"

[02:00.67] No, I ain't got nothin' to smile about

[02:03.92] I got no one to smile for, I waited a while for

[02:07.94] A moment to say I don't owe you a goddamn thing

[02:11.67] I, I keep a record of the wreckage of my life

[02:15.68] I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind

[02:18.67] They talk shit, but I love it every time

[02:22.18] And I realize

[02:24.44] I, I keep a record of the wreckage of my life

[02:31.42] I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind

[02:32.17] They talk shit, but I love it every time

[02:35.44] And I realize

[02:37.92] Someone like me can be a real nightmare, completely aware

[02:43.67] But I'd rather be a real nightmare, than die unaware, yeah

[02:50.67] Someone like me can be a real nightmare, completely aware

[02:56.67] But I'm glad to be a real nightmare, so save me your prayers

[03:03.67] I, I keep a record of the wreckage of my life

[03:08.19] I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind

[03:11.67] They talk shit, but I love it every time

[03:14.67] And I realize

[03:16.92] I, I keep a record of the wreckage of my life

[03:21.45] I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind

[03:24.70] They talk shit, but I love it every time

[03:27.93] And I realize

[03:30.42] I'm no sweet dream, but I'm a hell of a night

[03:36.16] That I'm no sweet dream, but I'm a hell of a night
