When I hear the right words at the wrong time
When I read the poem but it don't rhyme
When I get the answer that I don't like

I let it go by

When I count the hours but I lose track

When I love the colors but they don't match
When I send you letters but don't hear back
I let it go by


Drikin' in while I hold my breath, I begin to forget


Shine a light on to the walls and you will see me hangin' on
Obliterate the contents of my head
Give me somethin' in between a miracle or just a dream

A hopeless girl just lyin' in her bed
I won't wake up this way again


When I quit pretendin' that I don't try
When I know the truth but still believe the lie
When I gave my nerve up but I'm still too shy

Let it go by

Drikin' in while I hold my breath, I begin to forget


Shine a light on to the walls and you will see me hangin' on
Obliterate the contents of my head

Give me somethin' in between a miracle or just a dream
A hopeless girl just lyin' in her bed
I won't wake up this way again, no, no, no


This tender love light bring me home tonight
Drag the suitcase full of words you didn't hear

Take it in for a little while, let it all just disappear

Shine a light on to the walls and you will see me hangin' on

Obliterate the thoughts inside my head
Just give me somethin' in between, a miracle or just a dream
A hopeless girl just lyin', just lyin'


Shine a light, just shine a light, I'm barely hangin' on tonight
Obliterate the contents of my head

Give me somethin' in between, a miracle or just a dream
A hopeless girl just lyin' in my bed
I won't wake up this way again, no, no, no

I won't wake up this way ever again
