You say you're done with him but now you're not sure
Is it the pain he caused that leaves you wanting more?
Stop calling me the bad guy, don't wanna be that guy
It's just that I don't think he's right for you
He ain't treating you right, never been the sad type
Now it's just the thing that you'd rather choose
And it's just a nightmare, it's a nightmare, it's a nightmare
Even when I'm wide awake
So you don't want to go there, don't you go there, don't you go there
Every time I say his name
Throwing out a lifeline but you won't take it
Sitting on the sidelines but you don't play me
And it's just a nightmare, it's a nightmare, it's a nightmare
Even when I'm wide awake
He holds you back from all the dreams that you forgot
You're blinded by promises he doesn't even want
You know I'm not the bad guy, don't wanna be that guy
It's just that I don't think he's right for you
He ain't treating you right, girl you ain't the sad type
Girl can't you see that he's changing you
And it's just a nightmare, it's a nightmare, it's a nightmare
Even when I'm wide awake
So you don't want to go there, don't you go there, don't you go there
Every time I say his name
Throwing out a lifeline but you won't take it
Sitting on the sidelines but you don't play me
And it's just a nightmare, it's a nightmare, it's a nightmare
Even when I'm wide awake
I can see you're broken in so many ways
Even though it's not my place
I just wanna help you
We can get through this phase
But you always turn away
And it's just a nightmare, it's a nightmare, it's a nightmare
Even when I'm wide awake
So you don't want to go there, don't you go there, don't you go there
Every time I say his name
And it's just a nightmare, it's a nightmare, it's a nightmare
Even when I'm wide awake
So you don't want to go there, don't you go there, don't you go there
Every time I say his name
Throwing out a lifeline but you won't take it
Sitting on the sidelines but you don't play me
And it's just a nightmare, it's a nightmare, it's a nightmare
Even when I'm wide awake
Wide awake
