lyrics

wake me up with the sunrise
wipe the crust from my dreamy eyes
i'll go to work, i'll be allright
the dream is over at least until tonight

there's no market for passion
devotion is out of fashion
i'll be on time, won't miss a beat
pretend im strong enough to admit defeat

he said we're better off apart
and it's a happy ending
i've got a place inside his heart
but it's not worth defending
i shoulda known it was too beautiful to last
but i'll change the future before the past

in a world full of faces
pretty lives, pretty places
ive seen alot, its all the same
sometimes i wish i could just stop
and drop the game

i said we're better off apart
and it's a happy ending
but theres a crack inside my heart
ive gotta stop pretending
i shoulda told him i would fight to make it last
but i'll change the future before the past

and theres no better time than now
i gotta show him who i am somehow
i'll cry until im dry
and i'll admit it when i wanna die
he may never love me
he may act like he's above me
but id rather be rejected
than be worshipped for a lie

wake me up with the sunrise
wipe the lust from my gleaming eyes
im on the edge, i'll take the dive
i may be crazy but i love to be alive.
