“Wake Up Alone (Original)”
Tied up enough so I don’t have to wonder where is he
Got so sick of crying, so just lately
When I catch myself I do a 180
I stay up, clean the house, at least I’m not drinking
Run around just so I don’t have to think about thinking
That silent sense of content that everyone gets
Just disappears when the sun sets
[Chorus:]
He gets fierce in my dreams seizing my guts
He floods me with dread
Soaked to his soul he swims in my eyes by the bed
Pour myself over him, moon spilling in
And I wake up alone
As far as my heart, I’d rather be restless
Second I stop the sleep catches up and I’m breathless
This ache in my chest, ’cause my day is done now
The dark covers me and I cannot run now
My blood running cold, I stand before him
It’s all I can do to assure him
When he comes to me, I drip for him tonight
Drowning in me, we bathe under blue light
[Chorus]
And I wake up alone
And I wake up alone
And I wake up alone
