Lyrics
Sometimes we fight, sometimes I cry
Why don't I just tell him goodbye?
Sometimes I should, but sometimes I don't
Build up the strength to say that it's wrong
Sometimes I hate, sometimes I love
Sometimes I hurt, sometimes I don't
Sometimes I wait for him to change
But it's okay, I've disguised the pain, yeah
And I don't ever wanna leave him alone
They say I'm brainwashed, but I'm in love with this man, yeah
Keep tellin' myself that it's not worth it
I already know I don't deserve it
But if it's from you, I don't mind hurtin'
This is my perfect nightmare
So when will I wake up and scream
"No way, no way, no way, no way, no way, no way, no way"?
But if it's from you, I don't mind hurtin'
This is my perfect nightmare, perfect nightmare
Sometimes I keep my cool, sometimes I let him know
Sometimes I even pack my bags to walk out the door
Sometimes I feel safe, sometimes I really don't
Sometimes I promise that I'm ready to let him go
But I don't ever wanna leave him alone
They say I'm brainwashed, but I'm in love with this man, oh-oh-oh
Keep tellin' myself that it's not worth it
I already know I don't deserve it
But if it's from you, I don't mind hurtin'
This is my perfect nightmare
So when will I wake up and scream
"No way, no way, no way, no way, no way, no way, no way"?
But if it's from you, I don't mind hurtin'
This is my perfect nightmare, perfect nightmare
Hopin' he's changin', but I'm scared he's not
Can't see a way to leave, help me open my eyes
Keep tellin' myself that it's not worth it (keep tellin' myself)
I already know I don't deserve it
But if it's from you, I don't mind hurtin'
This is my perfect nightmare, perfect-
Keep tellin' myself that it's not worth it (no way, no way)
I already know I don't deserve it
But if it's from you, I don't mind hurtin'
This is my perfect nightmare
So when will I wake up and scream
"No way, no way, no way, no way, no way, no way, no way"?
But if it's from you, I don't mind hurtin'
This is my perfect nightmare, perfect nightmare
No way, no way, no way, no way, no way, no way, no way
But if it's from you, I don't mind hurtin'
This is my perfect nightmare, perfect nightmare (perfect nightmare)
