I'm not your dream
I'm my own worst nightmare
You picture me in a light that's unfair

You think I'm something especial
You think I'm so ideal
But I guess you didn't notice everything that I conceal 'cause
I'm not your dream
I'm my own worst nightmare

If only I could see what you see
Beyond the things I hate about me
But I'm not who you take me to be

I'm not your dream
And I'm far from perfect
Forego the praise please
I don't deserve it

I see the worst in me
Like no one else could
And I don't understand why everyone think I'm so good

I'm not your dream
I'm my own worst nightmare

So sick of striving for perfection
Don't wanna look at my reflection
'Cause she's never been a friend to me

If only I could see what you see
Beyond the things I hate about me
But I'm not who you take me to be

If only I could see what you see
Beyond the things I hate about me
But I'm not who you take me to be
