Wake Me Or Break Me (Grunge Drop Mix)

Lately I’ve been standing on a ledge, staring at the void Every prayer I ever whispered only echoes back destroyed Every promise that I carried feels abandoned and deployed Like a weapon turned against me, every ounce of hope destroyed Dragging all these chains around, pretending they’re a choice Drowning in a crowded room while choking on my voice Looking in the mirror, barely recognize the face Every mile that I have traveled never changed this haunted place Force myself to leave the bed, perform another show Paint another borrowed smile so nobody will know Everybody says I’m strong, but strength is all I owe To a world that never noticed how I’m breaking down so slow Tell me why I’m laughing when my soul is in a grave Tell me why I’m breathing if I’m only being brave Tell me why I’m fighting battles nobody can save Tell me why I’m living like a man who couldn’t be saved Money couldn’t patch the holes, couldn’t kill the ache Couldn’t stop the sleepless nights or every trembling shake Couldn’t buy a reason why my heart refuses break Couldn’t fill the empty space that loneliness can make PRE-CHORUS I’m so tired of carrying ghosts I never should’ve kept So tired of hiding wounds beneath the tears I never wept So tired of losing pieces every night I never slept How much of me is left to lose when nothing’s really left? CHORUS I don’t wanna wake up if the sunrise feels the same Another day of gasoline poured on a dying flame I don’t wanna hurt nobody, I don’t wanna place the blame But every road I try to run keeps leading back to pain WAKE ME OR BREAK ME SAVE ME OR TAKE ME LOVE ME OR LEAVE ME ALONE WAKE ME OR BREAK ME SAVE ME OR TAKE ME I’M TIRED OF BLEEDING ALONE VERSE 2 I’ve got scars beneath my skin that time refused to hide Little graves of younger versions that were buried deep inside Every time I thought I’d healed, another piece had died Now I’m carrying a cemetery dressed up as my pride People only see the smoke, never see the fire Never see the shattered faith or all the things expire Never see a grown man begging heaven to get higher Than the weight of every memory hanging from a wire I know I need somebody, but I push them all away Building walls around my heart then wondering why they stay Learning how to disappear while standing in plain day Becoming more of a ghost with every word I never say FINAL CHORUS I don’t wanna wake up if the sunrise feels the same Another day of gasoline poured on a dying flame I don’t wanna hurt nobody, I don’t wanna place the blame But every road I try to run keeps leading back to pain WAKE ME OR BREAK ME SAVE ME OR TAKE ME LOVE ME OR LEAVE ME ALONE WAKE ME OR BREAK ME SAVE ME OR TAKE ME I’M TIRED OF BLEEDING ALONE OUTRO If tomorrow never finds me, let it know I fought the storm Carrying a freezing heart while trying to stay warm I was never looking for a halo to adorn I was only looking for a reason to be reborn
