lyrics

I heard you were doing fine
a little bird hit my window last night
it died telling me your alright (what a waste of life)

My bed sheets all shook me mad
from the nightmares swimming in my head
and I've seen better days in a day dream

you stay out of my dreams
you stay out of my dreams
I thought you knew

That you're too sad to be mine
you're just too sad to be mine
(I thought you knew)

I tried therapy
to see why I couldn't sleep
you'll feel better when you put this in a song (yeah right)

So I turned to family
who turned away said therapy, therapy
Ive seen thicker blood in a nose bleed

you stay out of my dreams
you stay out of my dreams
I thought you knew

That you're too sad to be mine
you're just too sad to be mine
(I thought you knew)

When I heard you were doing time
through the neighborhood grapevine
it turned all my watered down dreams into wine

Well I think it serves you right
for sleeping around in my dreams every night
and ironically baby, I've been set free

you stay out of my dreams
you stay out of my dreams
ohh, one more time, for one more lover
of mine
who was too sad to be mine
(I though you knew)

You stay out of my dreams
You stay out of my dreams
You stay out of my dreams
You stay out of my dreams
