Bad Dream

Liner Notes

I've had this kind of floating around in the back of my head ever since I saw "The Sixth Sense" back in like 1999 or whatever it was. And this isn't exactly how I envisioned it. But at least it's written.
If I stole this melody from somewhere, will you please kindly point it out for me? Thanks! I thought it was "Bad Day" by Daniel Powter but that's not (only) it, I think.
Lyrics
I recognized the hurt the night I slept alone Instead of reaching out to you Was it pride or was it anger, I guess I should have known Just how much I have to lose
I had a bad dream that you weren't here Had a bad feeling you disappeared And all I ever wanted was slipping away
I had bad dream that you were gone Even though I knew I was wrong Was nothing I could do to make you stay I had a bad dream
If I ever make you mad please don't turn away You don't have to act like me I may not have the words, just the right thing to say Still, I need you to believe
I had a bad dream that you weren't here Had a bad feeling you disappeared And all I ever wanted was slipping away
I had bad dream that you were gone Even though I knew I was wrong Was nothing I could do to make you stay I had a bad dream
So will you hold me in your arms? Will you tell me I'm okay? Will you promise to love me forever? You can start by loving me today
I had a bad dream that you weren't here Had a bad feeling you disappeared And all I ever wanted was slipping away
I had bad dream that you were gone Even though I knew I was wrong Was nothing I could do to make you stay I had a bad dream
I had a bad dream you never there You never loved me, you never cared And nothing in the world could be the same I had a bad dream

“You don’t have to act like me” is such a good line. Very nice write, and I don’t recognize the melody from anywhere.
I’m stalking you today. And I’m glad I’m doin so! Another ripper in the chamber my guy! Your guitar always sounds so nice.
nothing like a dream to transform a nagging waking doubt into the worst possible scenario :/
