Sleeping

Turn on the water
Close the door
I won't let you tear me down
Just another moment
When the sound of your voice
Cuts me to the ground
Locked in here just to make
Myself feel better
Look in the mirror
And tell myself that I'm okay
I know it doesn't matter
Whatever I do
It's always second best
Exactly what you wanted
You opened me up
The secrets I confessed
But I'm not here just to make
You feel better
Stroke your ego
Live happy ever after
Cause I'm not sleeping
And I ain't dreaming
And I ain't fooled anymore
I'm not sleeping
Just to wake up on the floor
I'm not sleeping...
Anymore
So many times
I wanted to go
But I just lost my way
Watching you unravelling
The last piece of thread
That held me into place
I don't care if you hear a word
I'm saying
I can only hear
The voices screaming in my head
Cause I'm not sleeping
And I ain't dreaming
And I ain't fooled anymore
I'm not sleeping
Just to wake up on the floor
I'm not sleeping
I done beat your game
But I'm not even sleeping no more,
I'm not even tired
And I'm sick of dreaming pain
Tossin' and turnin' all night
And wakin' wide up
Now I'm really lookin' at the door
Should've made this move before
I can't take this anymore
I don't want no more nightmares
In the night
No not tonight
I done seen the light
I gotta free my mind
And wake up, wake up
