Analysis of Dreaming a Nightmare
Every moment you look at me
My heart flies but you cannot see
Your eyes are searching for another
Not knowing I'm one of your secret lovers.
Every time our eyes met.
My mind believes that you can love me still
But when someone tells you that I do love you
You told them not to talk about the love I feel for you
It hurts, yes it really hurts!
But I can't do anything anymore
Your heart belongs to him
And mine, I don't know but it melts
The pain that you left will be forever
my love for you now ended as a dream
And I dream a nightmare
Because no matter what I do
You can't love me back like the way I do.
