Awake
I've felt loneliness here and there,
But I've still been alright
I've gotten used to the feeling
But it's different tonight
I guess I've been sleeping
For almost too long;
'Cause it's been near forever
Since my heart's played this song
I could cry I could die and I'm lying awake
Just waiting and waiting for the silence to break
I can feel the heat rising from the depths of my heart
And now I'm just waiting to be torn apart
I've felt happiness here and there
All thanks to this one
But how long will this last
Until I'm back on the run?
I guess I've been scared
For almost too long;
'Cause now that I'm ready
I just can't play this song
I could cry I could die and I'm lying awake
Just waiting and waiting for the silence to break
I can feel the heat rising from the depths of my heart
And now I'm just waiting to be torn apart
And I just wanna tell you how much we could be
But the words can't come out when your heart's not with me.
