Wide Awake

I've been lying to myself for a while now
The truth just came and hit me here today
I don't have it in me to tell you that I'm sorry
Cause I'm afraid I'm not in certain ways
All day I think of ways that I could tell you
All those things I never could before
All night I do those things that got me here without you
I can't even fight it anymore
I'm wide awake
Sleeping through a dream come true
I'm wide awake
Sleeping through a dream come true
I think it over and over
Over and Over
Wide awake
Tonight I wish I had the guts to call you
And tell you I can turn my life around
Tonight I wanna call you and tell you I've missed you
But tomorrow I'm afraid I'd let you down
I'm wide awake
Sleeping through a dream come true
I'm wide awake
Sleeping through a dream come true
I think it over and over
Over and Over
Wide awake
