I kept a world inside my head Where nothing hurt and nothing changed I built a home out of pretend And called it shelter from the rain I watched the hours disappear While life was waiting at my door I closed my eyes to hide my fear Afraid of what the truth was for But morning comes without a sound The light slips through the curtains now And all the things I tried to leave Are still right here in front of me Wake me up, I'm dreaming too long I've been hiding where I don't belong The world is waiting, the sky is wide I can't keep running from the other side So let me fall, let me feel the pain Let me walk alone beneath the rain Even if the truth cuts deep I can't live my life asleep Wake me up It's time to breathe The life I want Is waiting for me The road ahead is cracked and cold The dreams I had won't make me brave There are some things I cannot hold And some mistakes I cannot save I've spent so long inside my mind Rewriting endings every night But time won't stop to let me find A perfect moment to make things right I hear the world beyond these walls The distant voices, footsteps, calls And though my hands begin to shake There's one more step that I can take Wake me up, I'm dreaming too long I've been hiding where I don't belong The world is waiting, the sky is wide I can't keep running from the other side So let me fall, let me feel the pain Let me walk alone beneath the rain Even if the truth cuts deep I can't live my life asleep Wake me up It's time to breathe The life I want Is waiting for me Maybe I was scared of losing Maybe I was scared to start Maybe all this time I was choosing A dream instead of my own heart I don't need a perfect ending I don't need to know the way I just need to stop pretending And face another day Wake me up, I'm ready to go Even with the things I don't yet know The world is broken, so am I But I can still look it in the eye Let me fall, let me feel the rain Let me learn to live with yesterday Even if the road runs deep I won't surrender to my sleep Wake me up I'm finally here The world is real And so are my fears But I'll step outside And face the light No more dreaming My life's begun tonight The dream is fading The dawn is near I'm done with hiding I'm finally here No more waiting No more sleep This is my life And it's mine to keep
