Wake Up You're Leaving

Jimmy Robbins


Verse 1 
The silence wakes up, from under your make up 
A tear bleeds the armor off of your face 
And blue is now leaving, your face behind bleeding 
As it dances it's way past your lips 
And the words still remain, as your eyes cringe in pain 
An attempt to keep your cool 
A tear hits your tongue, as your world comes undone 
And everyone around you pretends that they care 
Chorus 
Breathing in has never been so hard 
And closing your eyes has never felt so right 
You were never one to make a scene 
But that doesn't matter tonight 
Verse 2 
I trace the lipstick, for anyone who missed it 
Back to it's home smeared across your face 
Unanswered phone calls, well they don't solve 
Anything except that you 
Know you aren't wanted, that's not how you wanted 
It to be 
And you tears spell out, something you feel now 
A five letter word, alone 
Chorus 
Bridge 
You'll take your pride, leave it behind 
Or at least what pieces are left 
And you'll move on, move on 
And hopefully you'll find some self-respect 
In the bookstore on the isle 
Filled with romance novels 
You'll read your days away, 
Remembering what you lost 
Chorus
