Awake

(album: The Painful Art Of Letting Go - 2003)

In a world that fades away, I need to be awake
I need to see the sunrise in this picture perfect day
And everything's a mess
No one here makes perfect sense of this

But this won't go away no more
'Cause when it's over, she can't be real to me

We've lived a thousand lies and shared a thousand smiles
I need to be the part of this that just won't be denied
When everyone's a mess
And no one here makes perfect sense of this

But this won't go away no more
'Cause when it's over she can't be real to me no more
'Cause when it's over she can't be real to me

She left me waiting, falling from grace
She swore this time would not be erased
I tried but it won't go, won't go away

When everyone's a mess
But no one here makes perfect sense of this

But this won't go away no more
'Cause when it's over she can't be real to me no more
'Cause when it's over she can't be real to me

There was a time when I could not believe
All the things you sold to me
When it's only you and only me
But it's over, over
I need to feel this life again
Take away my world
You left me sober
You left me sober
