Shadows played a trick on my eyes
Creatures in my bedroom at night
Lately I have not been sleeping fine
I can't get no peace of mind

Though I could be better than I've ever been
Got friends, a family and a place to stay
Though I should be better than ever when
I see my loved ones everyday
I know the more I have
The more I have to lose
The less I feel I've won

I've been having nightmares
I've been having nightmares

But everyone is sleeping, I will
Not wake them up, the creatures still
Here with me, but at least my nightmares
Did not get fulfilled

Though I could be better than I've ever been
Got friends, a family and a place to stay
Though I should be better than ever when
I see my loved ones everyday
I know for every laugh
We share today
There'll be
A teardrop later on
I know the more I have
The more I have to lose
The less I feel I've won

I've been having nightmares
I've been having nightmares

I know for every laugh
We share today
There'll be
A teardrop later on
I know the more I have
The more I have to lose
The less I feel I've won
I've been having nightmares
I've been having nightmares
