Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Trying to forget
Something that you know
It hasn't killed you yet
But you cannot let it go
Trying to exist
Trying not to scream
How it does persist
Entrapped inside a dream
[Verse 2]
Fighting's not the answer
Fighting's not the cure
It's eating you like cancer
It's killin' you, for sure
[Verse 3]
So wake me when it's over
Wake me when it's over
Wake me when it's over
Wake me when it's over
[Verse 4]
Livin' in the past
It's difficult to hide
Some things will never last
When you're swallowin' your pride
[Verse 5]
Fighting's not the answer
Fighting's not the cure
It's eating you like cancer
It's killin' you, for sure
[Verse 6]
Wake me when it's over
Wake me when it's over
Wake me when it's over
Wake me when it's over
[Verse 7]
Watching the rain drop
Watching the rain drop
Watching the rain drop
Watching the rain drop
Watching the rain drop
Watching the rain drop
Watching the rain drop
[Verse 8]
So wake me it's over
Wake me when it's over
Wake me when it's over
Wake me when it's over
Wake me when it's over
Wake me when it's over
Wake me when it's over
Wake me when it's over
