Egg - I'm Not Your Dream Lyrics

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 special
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
Forgo 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 thinks 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
