I'm not your dream I'm my own worst nightmare You picture me in a light that's unfair You think I'm something especial You think I'm so ideal But I guess you didn't notice everything that I conceal 'cause I'm not your dream I'm my own worst nightmare If only I could see what you see Beyond the things I hate about me But I'm not who you take me to be I'm not your dream And I'm far from perfect Forego the praise please I don't deserve it I see the worst in me Like no one else could And I don't understand why everyone think I'm so good I'm not your dream I'm my own worst nightmare So sick of striving for perfection Don't wanna look at my reflection 'Cause she's never been a friend to me If only I could see what you see Beyond the things I hate about me But I'm not who you take me to be If only I could see what you see Beyond the things I hate about me But I'm not who you take me to be
