It's Over Now

The nightmares I’ve had become fewer and fewer Some of them are old and some of them are newer Every time I wake, drenched with sweat and tears This kind of stuff has been going on for many years I look in the mirror at a face that is truly scared Wondering if my defunct mother ever really cared About me or Dad, or any of the pain that she caused Or think about the wonderful daughter that she lost It’s over now I can finally breathe on my own once more Cause all the bad memories and nightmares are out the door
