Sometimes it's hard to keep up
Sometimes it's all way too much
Sometimes it's hard to let go
Sometimes you have to I know
Yes I know what I've done
But I needed to run
I don't feel welcome here
You don't know me at all
They can't see they can't know
Anything that I've told
I'm not brave I'm not strong
But don't tell me to not move on
He said "Alex do you know what you're doing to us?
Well you disappeared and then you threw us under the bus
Now we're no longer united and no one gets along, we're in chaos
And you're always a dictator when it comes to our friends
You're the reason we've run into so many dead ends
Now you're tearing us apart
And you cannot defend"
Then I stopped you there
That's enough said
Your words keep ringing in my mind deep
The voices in my head won't sleep
So sing me a lullaby
To make me feel better
Life's just a bad nightmare
I want to feel better
Life's just a bad nightmare
So sing me a lullaby
Sometimes we find a bright light
Sometimes the light makes us blind
I didn't look through the walls
I didn't answer their calls
Yes I know that it's hard
Being left in the dark
But I ran out of fright
'Cause I'm scared of the night
I don't know what it holds
Or what the shadows are told
I would tell you I'm sorry but I guess it's too late for me
They said "Alex I don't get why you won't listen to me
'Cause I gave you all you wanted I gave you everything
But I guess you only want it when it isn't from me
That drives me crazy
'Cause you only spend your time with friends who don't really care
Instead of me because they met you first I don't think it's fair
'Cause friends are not defined by just how long they've been in your life"
Then I stopped you there
That's enough said
Your words keep ringing in my mind deep
The voices in my head won't sleep
So sing me a lullaby
To make me feel better
Oh whoa
Oh whoa oh oh
Oh whoa
Oh whoa oh oh
Monsters live under my bed
They say what goes through my head
I tried to find them to be friends
But they're just my shadow and pretend
All the clouds above my head feel like
They blocked out the world
But I know it's only me that the storm has come for
'Cause somewhere else I know the sun is shining high and it's bright
But not in my mind
So I try pretending that the storm is not really there
But I know I can't escape 'cause I'm always aware
I'm afraid I never will, I just wanna wake up
Then my shadow said "I'm not your friend"
My thoughts keep echoing in my mind deep
The monsters under my bed won't sleep
They sing me a lullaby
To make me feel better
"Alex please
Stop and breathe
And then you will break free
Live your life
You will find
You're just trapped in your mind (Life's just a bad nightmare)
Nothing's here
Nothing's real
No it's all in your head
Get your grip
Kill the gray
And I know you'll escape" (They make me feel better) (Some day, some day)
Yes I heard what you said
No that's not what i meant
Hear me out, I'll explain
I don't want you in pain (Life's just a bad nightmare)
Maybe I need to leave
They're all beating on me
I didn't mean any harm
Don't let me run away too far, oh
She said "Alex all you do is push people away
And then you notice all the distance and you beg them to stay
It's a never ending cycle no one sees it your way
I'll be here all day
Though I know you don't appreciate the people you have
No you never speak your mind and it breaks me in half
You're always saying how he hurt you but you act like him too"
Then I stopped you there
That's enough said
Your words keep ringing in my mind deep
The voices in my head won't sleep
So sing me a lullaby
To make me feel better
Oh whoa
Oh whoa oh oh
(Oh whoa) I want to be anywhere but here
(Oh whoa oh oh) I wish it was any time but now
So I sing a lullaby
To make me feel better
Life's just a bad nightmare
