I was afraid coming undone
Being a burden and being a son
I was afraid of the look in your eye
The tear on your face and the desolate nights
Cos when you’re afraid of everything
Everything is the stuff of nightmares
Nightmares
If I die tomorrow
Would you be upset
And would you be the one who comes to get me
Fallen by the wayside
In an ever changing world
Just tell me it’s alright
If you can reason, if you can stand
To put everything in the palm of my hand
I will protect you, I will defend
So it never gets you ever again
Cos when you’re afraid of everything
Everything is the stuff of nightmares
Nightmares
If I die tomorrow
Would you be upset
And would you be the one who comes to get me
Fallen by the wayside
In an ever changing world
Just tell me it’s alright
Maybe I was dreaming
Maybe I was wrong
Maybe I was right
Cos all I can imagine
Just like all our dreams
They’re already gone
Nightmares
Nightmares
