Lyrics
Wake Me
Music and Lyrics by
Stacy Allyn Baker
(verse 1)
I will not answer these questions tonight
Cause the morning?s coming and truth lingers in the light
I am not a coward, I will not cry these tears
I am just a girl with an addiction to fear
And I am standing outside your house again
And I will not break, but I know I cannot bend
And I am stronger now than I will be in the end
But you?re not here
(chorus)
Wake me when it?s over
Wake me when you?re through
Cause I still want you
Wake me when it?s over
Wake me when you?re through
Cause I love you
Don?t know why
But I do
(verse 2)
I know she?s in there she?s lying in your bed
And she?ll muse all day on the things you said
And then you?ll reassure her that it?s not just in her head
And you?ll love her all the more
And she?ll go to work to her daily grind
Where she?ll meet a man that she thinks is kind
And then she?ll lie and tell you that it?s all just in your mind
And she?ll leave you like before
(chorus)
Wake me when it?s over
Wake me when you?re through
Cause I still want you
Wake me when it?s over
Wake me when you?re through
Cause I love you
(bridge)
And if you keep your promises will she tear you apart
Cause I kept my word and your tore out my heart
(verse 3)
And I am standing outside your life again
And I bang the door, but I can?t get it
So I?ll close my eyes and pretend I?ve been
Fast asleep
(chorus)
Wake me when it?s over
Wake me when you?re through
Cause I still want you
Wake me when it?s over
Wake me when you?re through
Cause I love you
Don?t know why
But I do
I want you, I want you, I want you
I do, I do
I want you, I want you, I want you
I do
