Now I know
How nightmares grow
By burying love and abandoning hope
I shouldn't have left you
I wanted to hold you
And never let you go
It's hard to forget what my life used to be
I remember the days before you had to leave
Burning my candle at both ends
Trying to prepare for what comes next
Time was always running thin
The day I found out you were sick
You reminded me things will be okay
Take me back before everything changed
Now I know
How nightmares grow
By burying love and abandoning hope
I shouldn't have left you
I wanted to hold you
And never let you go
I know
That nightmares grow
By burying love and abandoning hope
I shouldn't have left you
I wanted to hold you
And never let you go
Never let you go
There's nothing you can do anymore
Nothing you say makes it easier
No way to heal
You just get used to it
Sorry if I sound cold
Reality just sank in
I will never let you go
Now I know
How nightmares grow
By burying love and abandoning hope
I shouldn't have left you
I wanted to hold you
And never let you go
I know
That nightmares grow
By burying love and abandoning hope
I shouldn't have left you
I wanted to hold you
And never let you go
I held your hand as your soul left that room
And I knew a piece of me would go and die with you
I held your hand as your soul left that room
Now I know
How nightmares grow
By burying love and abandoning hope
I shouldn't have left you
I wanted to hold you
And never let you go
I know
That nightmares grow
By burying love and abandoning hope
I shouldn't have left you
I wanted to hold you
And never let you go
I held your hand as your soul left that room
And I knew a piece of me would go and die with you
