And so she wakes up
in time to break down
She left a note up on the dresser
and she's right on time
You don't know anything
right or wrong
I said I know
and she said so
I wanna panic
yeah I've had, I go
You don't owe anything to anyone
But don't take your life
'cause it's all that you've got
You'd be better off just up and leaving
if you don't think they will stop
And when you wake up
everything is gonna be fine
I guarantee that you wake in a better place
in a better time
So you're tired of living
feel like you might give in
well don't
it's not your time
Looking through the paper today
looking for a specific page
Don't wanna find her full name followed by dates
because when i left her alone
she made a sound, like a moan
"You're known by everyone for everything you've done"
Fuck buying flowers for graves
I'd rather buy you
a one way non-stop to anywhere
find anyone do anything
forget and start again, love
She said she won't go It hurts too
much to stand by
you've got to stop and draw a line
Everyone here has to choose a
side tonight the
moment of truth is haunting you
Don't forget your family
regardless what you choose to do
You can't decide
and they're all screaming "why won't you?"
I'll start the engine but I can't take this ride for you
I'll draw your bath and I'll load your gun
But I hope so bad that you'll bathe and hunt
Annie's tired of forgetting about
today and always planning for
tomorrow
Tomorrow and she says,
"The saddest day I came across was
when I learned that life goes on
without me"
Without me and she says,
"If everyone has someone else,
then I ain't got nobody's love to
save me"
Save me, and she says
"I think I'll pass away tonight,
'cause it seems I'll never get it right if it's
just me Yeah it's just me and she said
And when you wake up
everything is gonna be fine
Guarantee that you wake in a better place
in a better time
So you're tired of living
feel like you might give in
well don't
It's not your time
Annie says she wouldn't mind
if they never find a cure for all her
problems
Problems and she says,
as long as she has someone near to
make it clear she doesn't need to
solve them
Solve them and she says,
"this loneliness is killing me,
it's filling me with anger and
resentment
Resentment and she says,
"I'm turning into someone that I
never thought I'd have to be again"
And when you wake up
everything is gonna be fine
Guarantee that you wake up in a better place
in a better time
So you're tired of living
you feel like you might give in
well don't
It's not your time
And even if it was so
Oh I wouldn't let you go
you could run run run run but I will follow close
Someday you will say "that's it, that's all"
but I'll be waiting there with open arms to break your fall
I know that you think that you're on your own
but just know that I'm here
and I'll lead you home
if you let me
She said "forget me"
but I can't
/ slide up
