“Nightmare” is a track that leaked after the Bangerz era in studio quality.
It’s a electronic pop-rock song about missing an absent lover, and all the facets that emotion can take. For the most part, she misses her ex.
[Verse 1]
Hey!
Feels like I'm asleep, but I’m awake
In this dream, I never see your face
I'm just a step behind
Hey!
Can't remember why you went away
Pinch me, 'cause I know it's a mistake
I wanna see your eyes
[Pre-Chorus]
I woke up in another life
Where nothing's really dangerous
And everything is black and white
And no one even knows
I woke up in a broken dream
With no one lying next to me
It's not how it's supposed to be
So why'd you have to go?
[Chorus]
I'm still trying to wake up from this
From this nightmare, from this nightmare
Where everything is in its right place
But you're not there
No, you're not there
[Verse 2]
Hey!
Table's set for two, but it's a waste
I'm the only one that's breaking plates
The quiet's getting loud
Hey!
Everyone keeps saying I'm okay
One more night alone, I'll go insane
I need to hold you now
[Pre-Chorus]
I woke up in another life
Where nothing's really dangerous
And everything is black and white
And no one even knows
I woke up in a broken dream
With no one lying next to me
It's not how it's supposed to be
So why'd you have to go?
[Chorus]
I'm still trying to wake up from this
From this nightmare, from this nightmare
Where everything is in its right place
But you're not there
No, you're not there
[Bridge]
Suddenly, I can almost see you
Feel the heat of your breath on my skin
Scared to death that I'm only dreaming
Suddenly, I can see you fading
Going on, but my heart starts racing
Scared to death, 'cause I know I'm dreaming
[Chorus]
I'm still trying to wake up from this
From this nightmare, from this nightmare
Where everything is in its right place
But you're not there
No, you're not there
