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
