Your Bad Dream ------ (capo 1st fret)

I dont want to be part of your nightmare
And if you leave theres nothing left for me
One way gone and one way back
But was it meant to be?
I dont want to be - your bad dream

I went out walking - I never turned around
Walked my way out Vancouver way
They say the streets are cold out west
I feel it every day
But I dont want to be - your bad dream

Something in my soul aches for your touch
Something left behind - it sure feels strange
I stand alone, confused, heart-broken
On the interchange
But I dont want to be - your bad dream

Things are closing in now - I can feel it
Things once measured - understood no more
I hold my sorrow to my heart
I never did before
I dont want to be - your bad dream

The things I did - Im sorry now - its too late
I cant explain - no words can make it right
And when they find me walkin
I wont put up a fight
I dont want to be - your bad dream

I dont want to be part of your nightmare
And if you leave theres nothing left for me
One way gone and one way back
It wasnt meant to be
I dont want to be - your bad dream
