Lyrics

Tell me what it's like
To not wake up
Wake up and wonder
Every single night, always
I'm sat bolt upright
Watching her sleep
I wish I could join her
Every single night, always
When I'm falling in, when I'm falling down
She knows just how to sort me out
She knows just how
And when I lose, she lays on me
And nothing else matters
She takes all my broken pieces and
She puts them together
When I'm through, she stands by me
When everything shatters
She takes all my broken pieces and
She makes them fit better
All my broken pieces
I don't know what it means
To lean on someone and not pull them under
But she's so good to me, always
She showed me what it's like
To not wake up, wake up and wonder
Every single night, always
She told me I could start again
Turn off the lights, turn off my head
And start again
When I lose, she lays on me
And nothing else matters
She takes all my broken pieces and
She puts them together
When I'm through, she stands by me
When everything shatters
She takes all my broken pieces and
She makes them fit better
All my broken pieces
All my broken pieces
'Cause she knows what I need, knows what I need
Knows what I need
'Cause she knows what I need, knows what I need, oh
When I lose, she lays on me
And nothing else matters
She takes all my broken pieces and
She puts them together
When I'm through, she stands by me
When everything shatters
She takes all my broken pieces and
She makes them fit better
All my broken pieces
All my broken pieces
All my broken pieces
All my broken pieces
All my broken pieces
All my broken pieces
All my broken pieces
All my broken pieces
