Lyrics
Woke up from a nightmare,
Waking up from a disturbing dream
Middle of the night
It's in the middle of the night
Don't easily scare,
Not easily frightened
I don't like to cry
Dislikes showing vulnerability or sadness
Waking up now
Present reality after waking up
Ain't all that it seems
Reality is different from what it appears
I'm just stepping into another bad dream
Entering a new distressing situation or experience
Walked away in June
Left a situation in June to maintain sanity
To try to stay sane
Emphasizing the need for mental stability
It wasn't all you
Acknowledging it wasn't solely the other person's fault
I'll share the blame
Sharing responsibility for the outcome
Walking out the door
Leaving a place or relationship
Ain't all that it seems
Similar to line 6, highlighting the deceptive nature of appearances
I'm just stepping into another bad dream
Continuing to face challenging situations
Another bad dream
Reiteration of being in another distressing situation
Another lonely night
Experiencing another night of loneliness
Another lonesome, cloudy day
Repetition of loneliness during the day
You're on my mind
Thoughts consumed by someone special
But if I come back to you
If considering a return, anticipating difficulties
You know I'd be
Acknowledging the challenging nature of the relationship
Stepping into another bad dream
Anticipating another challenging experience if returning
Another bad dream
Repetition of facing distressing situations
Another lonely night
Experiencing loneliness during the night
Another lonesome, cloudy day
Repetition of loneliness during the day
You're on my mind
Continued preoccupation with someone special
If I come home to you
If returning, expecting challenges and difficulties
You know I'd be
Recognizing the potential for another distressing experience
Stepping into another bad dream
Acknowledging the likelihood of encountering hardships
Stepping into another bad dream
Reiteration of entering into another challenging situation
