BAD DREAM Lyrics

Pacing round my room, walking in circles

Like you did when you said at the lake that I was too fertile

And I'm crying at the kitchen counter but you don't hear me

You were supposed to be the one to protect me

And now its a bad dream

But I'm not sleeping

You weren't supposed to touch me

When your daughter is the same age as me

What will you tell her?

It's her fault for being "too pretty"

But she will never know what you've done to me

And why you don't sleep

It's such a bad dream

Lately I feel so heavy, chain round my feet

Have to drag myself to get up and brush my teeth

Cause now its a bad dream

And I know its your fantasy

It's a bad dream

And your fantasy

When your daughter is the same age as me

What will you tell her?

It's her fault for being "too pretty"

But she will never know what you've done to me

And why you don't sleep

It's such a bad dream

"A Case of You" plays on the radio

I'm sitting in the backseat

Across the train tracks

Tornado-warning this town hasn't seen it before

A girl with a vengeance set off on tour

Headphones in the shower I'm screaming underwater and you don't hear me

And this is not what I paid you for and this is not what I want

this is not what I paid you for and this is not what I want

(Bad Dream) (Fantasy) (How dare you touch me) And I'm not asleep

Headphones in the shower I'm screaming underwater and you don't hear me

What was I to you?

Something you chose to lose

A midlife crisis - but I didn't want this

So what was I to you?
