Like a bad dream

Traded me in hopes to find some happiness
in one more line
Yeah, you had it figured out
Was there a hint of honesty
in anything you said to me?
Yeah, I wrote it all down
So I could scream it out loud

And maybe one day
I can hold it up above your pretty blonde head

Chorus

Made me promise

You told me
D#m

Again the second time
   A
I hope its not
another lie

You figured it out
Tore it all down
Lock it all up
So I could scream it out
