Wide awake in clothes I haven’t changed
For days and days as the Sun creeps through the window on my face
Just let it go
You say I’m like a ghost; my skin is white as paper as I haunt the halls of my home
I scream like it would stop the ache
Your colors start to show
I know what I have to do, but it kills me
Rewriting all the songs
I’d change your name but I know you’ll still take everything to heart
Just let it go
I wonder if we’ll die with hope
Or if we’ll be counting the sins we carry deeply as we go
I just wanted you to have a better life
Not always shying away from your thoughts on the inside
I could set you free
I put you on a shelf
Knowing that I’d be
Too far to reach you from down in hell
The Sun slumps back as I burn your dreams to the best of my ability so just let me leave
I scream like it would stop the ache
Your colors start to show
I know what I have to do, but it kills me
Sleep; if anything, I’ll dream
It’s only then I’ll have you
I know what I have to do, but it kills me
