Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Went to bed, I was thinkin' about you
It ain't the same since I'm livin' without you
All the memories are gettin' colder
All the things that I wanna do over
[Verse 2]
I went to bed, I was thinkin' about you
I wanna talk and laugh like we used to
When I see you in my dreams at night
It's so real, but it's in my mind, and
[Verse 3]
Now I guess
This is as good as it gets
[Verse 4]
Don't wake me
'Cause I don't wanna leave this dream
Don't wake me
'Cause I never seem to stay asleep enough
When it's you I'm dreamin' of
I don't wanna wake up
[Verse 5]
I went to bed, I was thinkin' about you
And how it felt when I finally found you
It's like a movie playin' over in my head
Don't wanna look 'cause I know how it ends
[Verse 6]
All the words that I said that I wouldn't say
All the promises I made that I wouldn't break
It's last call, last song, last dance
'Cause I can't get you back
Can't get a second chance
[Verse 7]
And now I guess
This is as good as it gets
[Verse 8]
Don't wake me
'Cause I don't wanna leave this dream
Don't wake me
'Cause I never seem to stay asleep enough
When it's you I'm dreamin' of
I don't wanna wake up
[Verse 9]
Don't wake me
We're together, just you and me
Don't wake me
'Cause we're happy like we used to be
I know, I've gotta let you go
But I don't wanna be alone
[Verse 10]
These dreams of you keep on growin' stronger
It ain't a lot, but it's all I have
Nothin' to do but keep sleepin' longer
Don't wanna stop 'cause I want you back
[Verse 11]
Don't wake me
'Cause I don't wanna leave this dream
Don't wake me
'Cause I never seem to stay asleep enough
When it's you I'm dreamin' of
I don't wanna wake up
[Verse 12]
Don't wake me
We're together, just you and me
Don't wake me
'Cause we're happy like we used to be
I know, I've gotta let you go
But I don't wanna be alone
[Verse 13]
(I went to bed, I was thinkin' about you)
Don't wake me
'Cause I don't wanna leave this dream
(It ain't the same since I'm livin' without you)
Don't wake me
'Cause I never seem to stay asleep
I know, I've gotta let you go
But I don't wanna wake up
