waking up

Yeah, here I stand
 Holding on to memories
 A box full of everything you meant to me
 And it opens up and I pull one out
 And I slowly start to read
 I know you're gone
 And even though it hurts to see
 I carry on like it doesn't mean a thing
 But I know deep down inside I slowly bleed
 Yeah, but here I stand against the odds
 Against the fights and against the fall
 Against the winds and against the grain
 You take it all, just leave my name
 Cause after this, it's not the same
 I pull a match out and start the flame
 I can't think of us and what we became
 So I close my eyes and i look away
 I see through you like a ghost
 Behind my footsteps in shadows
 When god knows this is as far as I can go
 This place is bleeding me dry
 I tried to make things right
 Another sleepless night
 When morning comes
 I hope you're somewhere else
 It's better than waking up
 And lying to ourselves
 You cut me down
 And I cut you back
 We are the same inside
 With my back against the wall
 Against the fact that I'll never fall
 And you deal with that
 When you cut me back, you cut me deep
 And I'll never show, so you'll never see
 That I carry your scars with me
 When morning comes
 I hope you're somewhere else
 It's better than waking up
 And lying to ourselves
 It's better than waking up
 (It makes you reconsider everything)
 It's better than waking up
 (It makes you reconsider everything)
 I wish I was empty
 Wish I was someone else
 I've changed so much, I don't know myself
 My shadow, I've got you figured out
 There's nowhere for you now
 I see through you like a ghost
 I see through you like a ghost
 When morning comes
 I hope you're somewhere else
 It's better than waking up
 And lying to ourselves
 It's better than waking up (It makes you reconsider everything)
 It's better than waking up (It makes you reconsider everything)
 When morning comes (It makes you reconsider everything)
 When morning comes (It makes you reconsider everything)
