Oh yea, yea, yea, yea, yea, yea, yea, yea
Oh, oh yea, yea, yea, yea
This is a B-A-D-D-R-E-A-M
Seems like when we have the best we find a way to lose them
A B-A-D-D-R-E-A-M
Listen
How do I tell my mother, tell my brother
When they ask me about you
How do I tell my sister, tell my pastor
When they ask me about you
Now, now how do I explain this
When I know damn well this as good as it gets
She's usually right behind my shoulder
But now the moment
It feels it's over
And empty spots on my wall
Marked where her pictures have all come down
And the lonely voice in the hallway
Is the only sound
And I couldn't sleep this off
I can't believe she's gone
Somebody pinch me (somebody pinch me)
And tell me
That it's just a bad dream, dream, dream, yea, yea
That it's just a bad dream, dream, dream, yea, yea
How do I tell my homies
When they askin' why I'm all up in the club like whoa, whoa, whoa
And how do I get past being lonely
Even when I'm all up on this shawty like whoa, whoa, whoa
It feels like I'm sleepin' under a ton of bricks
This shit is all bad,
The boy so sick,
The boy can't eat,
The boy can't breathe, no
Oh baby you got me
And empty spots on my wall
Marked where her pictures have all came down
And my lonely voice in the hallway
Will be the only sound
I couldn't sleep this off (no)
I can't believe she's gone (I can't)
Somebody pinch me (somebody pinch me)
And tell me (tell me)
That it's just a bad dream, dream, dream, yea, yea
It's just a bad dream, dream, dream, yea, yea
You got me tossin' and turnin'
Girl the center of my heart is burnin'
And while I'm awake
I'm meltin' down
Crushin' me floor by floor
I'm all torn down
I'm hurting, baby I need you
And I won't awake until I see you
And every other day I get up and you not beside me
I know, that reality is the bad dream, dream, dream, oh oh
Bad dream, dream, no, yea
Cause I couldn't sleep this off
I can't believe she's gone
Somebody pinch me (somebody pinch me)
And tell me (tell me)
That it's all a bad dream, a dream, a dream uh no,
It's just reality, a dream, a dream, uh oh
Oh, oh, oh yea
