Wide awake in clothes I haven't changed

For days and days as the sun creeps through the window on my face

Just let it go

You say I'm like a ghost

My skin is white as paper as I haunt the halls of my home

I scream like it would stop the ache

Your colors start to show

I know what I have to do but it kills me

Rewriting all the songs

I'd change your name but I know you'll still take everything to heart

Just let it go

I wonder if we'll die with hope

Or if we'll be counting the sins we carry deeply as we go

I just wanted you to have a better life

Not always shying away from your thoughts on the inside

I could set you free

I put you on a shelf

Knowing that I'd be

Too far to reach you from down in hell

The sun slumps back as I burn your dreams

To the best of my ability so just let me leave

I scream like it would stop the ache

Your colors start to show

I know what I have to do but it kills me

Sleep if anything I'll dream

It's only then I'll have you

I know what I have to do but it kills me
