lyrics

Hello friend
It seems it's been a while
Don't pretend
I see right through that smile
Wake up

She'll agree
You're tearing down what's real
This can't be
The way you want to feel
Wake up

Take a good look around you
And think of all your missing
Suppressing all your feeling
Don't contend that you're living
You're not all that convincing
You might as well be sleeping

Please don't dwell
For what was said, was said
You won't tell
You'll lock it up instead
Wake up

Find a way
To deal with all that's done
Start today
Before you waste the sun
Wake up

Take a good look around you
And think of all you're missing
Suppressing all your feeling
Don't contend that you're living
You're not all that convincing
You might as well be sleeping

Wake up
Wake up
I know that you hear me
Wake up
I know you believe me

Take a good look around you
And think of all you're missing
Suppressing all your feeling
Don't contend that you're living
You're not all that convincing
You might as well be sleeping
