[verse 1]
Deep in a bad dream
Like how you left me, I
早该学会怎么样爱惜
你的无可代替

[chorus]
The way you make me feel a type of way
Feel a type of way, ah, yeah
If you are coming through will you stay?
I don't mind to wait tonight
I've been thinking
What did I do? What did I say?
I know, it's already enough
What do I do without your love, will you show me how?
Baby, give it to me now

[verse 2]
I recognize, when our time is over
再见不到你踪影
日夜自由颠倒
未来也不去猜
此刻你在这就足够了
But I don't wanna stay sober so
Been here for a minute, babe
I know you wanna see me go down
All night we go on and on but do I have to let you go?
You complication, babe
But you'll never lose me, and I'm sure

[chorus]
Look how you got me feel a type of way
Feel a type of way, ah, yeah
If you are coming through will you stay?
I don't mind to wait tonight
I've been thinking
What did I do? What did I say?
I know, it's already enough
What do I do without your love, will you show me how?

[verse 3]
Too bad our timing
Was it love got me blinded?
等到心灰意冷只为了等一句话
You complicated it and made it too much
But you'll never (You'll never)
But you'll never(You'll never)
But you'll never lose me

[chorus]
Feel a type of way, feel a type of way
(But you'll, but you'll never lose...)
Feel a type of way, feel a type of way
(But you'll never lose me, lose, lose me)
Feel a type of way, feel a type of way, yeah
(But you'll never, you'll never, ne-never...)
I've been thinking
"What did I do? What did I say?"
I know it's already enough
What do I do without your love?
Will you show me how?

[bridge]
(Watch me, would you? Eh-oh, eh-oh)
I wanted to love you (Need a minute to...)
(Oh-oh, oh-oh)
(I just want you to know that I cried)
'Cause I can't help it's over
(Burning what you killed myself)
And I don't want this to be over
(Wish that I could be enough to watch you find)
And I don't want this to be (Love)

[outro]
I wanted to love you (Love)
(I... say you want me, would you?)

About
  “Bad Dream” tells the heartbreaking story of meeting your soulmate at the wrong time in their lives, stuck in the conflict of wanting to stay together for as long as you can versus letting the person you’re in love with push you away for good.
  Lexie told us that this vulnerable Trapsoul R&B ballad was the first demo written for The Happy Star. One night, she “felt a stone pressing against my heart and I just had to let it out. The lyric ‘Deep in a bad dream’ came from the first freestyle take.” —via Pop Genius Exclusive Press Release
  On July 20, 2023, Lexie released a music video for a live performance of “Bad Dream,” a collaboration with Vogue+ for its August issue inspired by the song.
