But Then You Wake Up

I feel so worn out, like something slows me down Every time I think of trying to start All the futures I was holding feel heavy now And it's tearing little holes in my heart Is it really love if I'm the only one who's scared I've been stable just so you can run around I forgot what it feels like to breathe fresh air And you're standing on my shoulders while I drown And when I wake up (You are the only one who's in misery) (I don't really wanna interfere) And when I wake up (You're the only who can end what you see) (I won't even shed a single tear) And when I wake up (Maybe, maybe you don't have a place to cry) ('Cause you found someone who took it all away) I can finally open my eyes (Someone that you surely couldn't satisfy) (Kept you from seeing the light of day) You know, I could have sworn that you had thought this out But I know that you are prone to give too much And the longer that I've known you now, the more I doubt Maybe some things aren't worth the rush But you think you shouldn't leave me if we know how it'll end Will you ever even wake up from the dream When we're only running lines, it's easy to pretend That we've never seen the writing in between But when you wake up (I am the only one who's in misery) (You don't really wanna help me out) But when you wake up (I'm the only one waking up from the dream) (You were always sleeping in the clouds) But then you wake up (Maybe, maybe I am prone to give too much) ('Cause I found someone who never gave it back) You can finally realize (Maybe, maybe I don't really miss your touch) (Maybe I just really need a nap) I think I need to find myself I sit atop this empty shelf I wish I had somewhere to stay I wanna see the light of day But when there's no one there for you You're losing sight of all you knew There has to be some other way So you can finally fly away
