The fear of this feeling,
I hate hearing the sound of my voice
when I speak to you now
I've been wearing the night thin in this silence,
Consumed by the thought
That you'll never know
Wake up, wake up
On the dark side of town
Can't make this go away
I really wish that you could have stayed
Stand up, stand up
Get myself off the ground
Can't make this go away
But I'll numb the pain
I've stayed strong for you but these tears are needed tonight
Losing my head
Everything you've ever said
It drowns me I'm the captain of a sinking ship
It's all hands on deck now that you're gone
But with your memories to guide us, we'll fight the storm
Wake up, wake up
On the dark side of town
Can't make this go away
I really wish that you could have stayed
Stand up, stand up
Get myself off the ground
Can't make this go away
But I'll numb the pain
I've stayed strong for you
And we fall as if nothing ever really matters.
Does it ever really matter?
Still we try to fight t'ill the end
Things will never be the same, I'll never get that piece of me back.
Can't get over the fact that you're gone
And things will never be the same,
Just hope for these words to protect
The next person who puts faith in the bottle
Who puts faith in the bottle
As if it ever really matters
Does it ever really matter?
Wake up, wake up
on the dark side of town
Can't make this go away
I really wish that you could have stayed.
Stand up, stand up
Get myself off the ground
Can't make this go away
But I'll numb the pain.
