Lyrics

[Verse 1]

(I don't wanna, I don't wanna)

(I don't wanna wake)

(I don't wanna, I don't wanna wake)

(I don't wanna, I don't wanna)

(I don't wanna wake)

[Verse 2]

I should've told you

There's no choices in the end when you fall

I know that now

[Verse 3]

I should've warned you

All these words of heavy weight will pull you down

A lonely sound

[Verse 4]

One more chance to leave your reach

I can see you're doin' that, doin' this

Second glance but no time to release

[Verse 5]

I don't wanna wake the city

But I can't stand to see you go

Runnin' through the streets, you're with me

I don't want to lose control

[Verse 6]

I don't wanna wake the city

But I can't stand to be alone

Runnin' through the streets, you're with me

I don't want to lose control

[Verse 7]

(I don't wanna, I don't wanna)

(I don't wanna wake)

(I don't wanna, I don't wanna wake)

(Oh, I don't wanna, I don't wanna)

(I don't wanna wake)

[Verse 8]

There's no forgiveness

There's no chance to say your piece before you fall

That's not my fault

[Verse 9]

Give me a minute

Need some space to understand the way it works

I know it hurts

[Verse 10]

One more chance to leave your reach

I can see you're doin' that, doin' this

Second glance but no time to release

[Verse 11]

I don't wanna wake the city

But I can't stand to see you go

Runnin' through the streets, you're with me

I don't want to lose control

[Verse 12]

I don't wanna wake the city

But I can't stand to be alone

Runnin' through the streets, you're with me

I don't want to lose control

[Verse 13]

(I don't wanna, I don't wanna)

(I don't wanna wake)

(I don't wanna, I don't wanna wake)

(I don't wanna, I don't wanna)

(I don't wanna wake)

[Verse 14]

Now I know you what need

Learn to grow without me

(I don't wanna, I don't wanna)

(I don't wanna wake)

(I don't wanna, I don't wanna wake)

I don't want to lose

[Verse 15]

Now you know how to breathe

Draining all my energy

(I don't wanna, I don't wanna)

(I don't wanna wake)

(I don't wanna, I don't wanna wake)

[Verse 16]

I should've told you

There's no choices in the end when you fall

I know that now
