Wish I Never Woke Up

[Verse 1] You say I’m weak, you say I’m wrong Been hearing that my whole life long Your words, they bruise beneath my skin A house of hate I’m trapped within You build me up to tear me down A perfect mess you’ll never crown Your love's a weight I’ve learned to fake But every night, it starts to break [Pre-Chorus] I take the pills, I shut the light Whisper, "Maybe not tonight" But your voice still bleeds inside my head Wishing I was never born instead [Chorus] Wish I never woke up Wish I never breathed in Every word, every fight Makes me wanna give in So I close my eyes tight Pray the darkness stays And maybe tonight… I’ll just… fade away [Verse 2] You act like scars don't ever show Like broken hearts don’t overflow But I’ve been drowning on dry land You’ll never try to understand You gave me life but stole the rest Buried love beneath your stress It’s hard to fight, it’s hard to cope When parents plant the seeds of no hope [Pre-Chorus] I line the bottles by my bed A quiet war inside my head I whisper, "Maybe not tonight" But part of me's too tired to fight [Chorus] Wish I never woke up Wish I never breathed in Every word, every fight Makes me wanna give in So I close my eyes tight Pray the darkness stays And maybe tonight… I’ll just… fade away [Bridge] (Whispered, defeated) If I don’t wake, will you care? Or just fill the silence with your stares? I’m not your dream, I’m just your ghost Fading from the one who needed you most [Final Chorus – Soft, raw) Wish I never woke up Wish I never stayed here You made me wish for the end Where I disappear So I’ll close my eyes tight And if the darkness stays… Maybe tonight… I’ll just… fade away
