Can somebody make me a get out of jail card
That'll work on broke heart
Cause I left my strength in the gutter
Something's been pointing the trigger at my soul
And now there's a big hole
And I can't fill it up with liquor
How much have I gotta take
Before there's a start to change
I'm not asking for
More than what I deserve
It's just the price I pay
Cause I wouldn't go away
And leave you alone
To carry it all without me
Don't wake me up
Til' life starts making sense
Cause I've been killing myself again
Don't wake me up
Til' there's meaning in the suffering
And God stops making enemies out of friends
Cause if I don't wake up then
Maybe I could begin again
I got a demon that's been chasing me down
And recently I found
He's probably been here forever
It's taken a lot to get me to where I am
But now that I look back
I could've done this so much better
What was I supposed to do
What was I supposed to say
It's not like I'm meant to fall apart
How could you go and take
What you had no right to take
And tear out my heart
And take me apart piece by piece
Don't wake me up
Til' life starts making sense
Cause I've killing myself again
Don't wake me up
Til' there's meaning in the suffering
And God stops making enemies out of friends
Cause if I don't wake up then
Maybe I could begin again
I'd trade my last breath for a second chance
If it unchains my hands
Cause I can't take anymore
If I don't wake up
I hope you remember me
And know that I did the best I could
And when you speak of me
Show pictures when I was young
Before the world took the light out of me
And at the end of your days
When it's your turn to fall asleep
I hope you did this better than me
So when I see you next
We'll both be at peace
And by then I'll be a better man
So when you don't wake up
That's when you'll see me again
