Wake Up
On the line with one last look
I’m the bait that’s on the hook
Bite my tongue or foot in mouth
I left behind what I’m all about
Wake up, and stick to your guns
Wake up, what's done is done
Wake up, you’re not living if you’re dreaming
Wake up to find
One more try to find the truth again
Cause I’ve been lying to myself for too long
Just trying and losing
One more try to get the feeling back
Cause I’ve been fighting with myself for too long
Just trying to hold on and maybe try to move on
None of this makes any sense
Knock one more off the list
If you hid it from yourself
You lost it but you hid it well
Wake up, there’s more than one side to it
Wake up, there’s only one side of it
Wake up, contradicting what you’re saying
And it is always about
What you feel and what you doubt
What you take and what you give
Drop the thoughts and try to live
(wake up)
One more moment that I won’t regret
Cause what I’m feeling now is finally found
Just trying and losing
Just trying to hold on
Before what I feel is gone
