If you knew the pain you cause me

You hurt me, you hurt me, you hurt me, you hurt-

You left me alone in a king-size

I used to read you in the dark like Braille

I'd have rather never read

I brought you to bed like nightmares, nightmares

I'm outside waiting for you but it's cold in the car

And I'd take you to a special place even if it's not perfect

Fogged up like a freezer, like windows when it's winter outside

And we talk so much that the set phrases turn into writing

Stupid me for not telling you the flaws right away

I wanted at least dessert, at least the limoncellos

And I threw myself in like pogo

It was your game, me John and you Yoko

Look for me in a storm, you don't need to take cover

If they shoot me in the head, just keep the SIAE

Whoa-oh-oh, if you knew the pain you cause me

You hurt me, you hurt me, you hurt me, you hurt-

You left me alone in a king-size

I used to read you in the dark like Braille

I'd have rather never read

I brought you to bed like nightmares, nightmares

You know funerals?

The Tibetan ones, where the vultures

Carry off everything that's left

Kind of how it ended between us

Only songs are left that I'd erase in hindsight

I still think of her when I pay the shrink with royalty cash

But you roll the stress flag-style

'Cause you're better than me at saying goodbye

Touché, all my nightmares ask about you, baby

And I didn't call you, there was barely any reception

You said, 'Bravo', I answered with fire

The storm has passed, I've stopped feeling bad

We hit the same party under separate speakers

Whoa-oh, if you knew the pain you cause me

You hurt me, you hurt me, you hurt me, you hurt-

You left me alone in a king-size

I used to read you in the dark like Braille

I'd have rather never read

I brought you to bed like nightmares, nightmares

True ending, false start

There was effort, but not enough

I put in my heart, my head and my arms

You never win when you lose face

Whoa-oh-oh, stupid me for not telling you the flaws right away

The nightmares were just unspoken secrets

If you knew the pain you cause me

You hurt me, you hurt me, you hurt me, you hurt-

You left me alone in a king-size

I used to read you in the dark like Braille

I'd have rather never read

I brought you to bed like nightmares, nightmares

SONG MEANING

Ever woken up in a king-size bed that somehow feels smaller when the person you love disappears? In “Nightmares,” Genoa-born storyteller Bresh, backed by the playful indie crew Pinguini Tattici Nucleari, turns that lonely mattress into a full-on emotional rollercoaster. The lyrics jump between witty pop-culture snapshots (John & Yoko, limoncello, Tibetan sky burials) and raw confessions of regret. Bresh admits he read his partner “in the dark like Braille,” only to wish he had never opened the book at all. What follows is a blur of fogged-up car windows, therapy bills paid with song royalties, and late-night drives where the cold outside mirrors the chill inside his chest.

Yet amid the gloom, the song is weirdly uplifting. Its catchy hooks transform heartbreak into something you can dance to, proving that even the worst breakups can fuel big choruses and bigger sing-alongs. “Nightmares” is essentially a love letter written in invisible ink: once the light hits, you can see every flaw, every missed “I’m sorry,” and every unspoken truth. It hurts, it heals, it grooves – and it reminds English learners that vocabulary like king-size, freezer, and incubi can come wrapped in an irresistible Italian beat.
