Waking Up Lyrics

It's better than waking up

Yeah, here I stand
Holding on to memories
A box full of everything you meant to me
And it opens up and I pull one out
And I slowly start to read
I know you're gone
And even though it hurts to see
I carry on like it doesn't mean a thing
But I know deep down inside I slowly bleed
Yeah, but here I stand against the odds
Against the fights and against the fall
Against the winds and against the grain
You take it all, just leave my name
Cause after this, it's not the same
I pull a match out and start the flame
I can't think of us and what we became
So I close my eyes and I look away

I see through you like a ghost
Behind my footsteps in shadows
When god knows this is as far as I can go
This place is bleeding me dry
I tried to make things right
Another sleepless night
[Chorus]
When morning comes
I hope you're somewhere else
It's better than waking up
And lying to ourselves

You cut me down
And I cut you back
We are the same inside

With my back against the wall
Against the fact that I'll never fall
And you deal with that
When you cut me back, you cut me deep
And I'll never show, so you'll never see
That I carry your scars with me

[Chorus]

It's better than waking up
(It makes you reconsider everything)
It's better than waking
(It makes you reconsider everything)

I wish I was empty
Wish I was someone else
I've changed so much, I don't know myself
My shadow, I've got you figured out
There's nowhere for you now
I see through you like a ghost
I see through you like a ghost
[Chorus]

It's better than waking up
(It makes you reconsider everything)
It's better than waking up
(It makes you reconsider everything)
When morning comes
(It makes you reconsider everything)
When morning comes
(It makes you reconsider everything)
