Thinking about the way you say you love me
Thinking about the way you say you care
Hoping that you could somehow spare a moment for me
But you never have a minute to share
Trying so hard to fight against the pressure
Looking to find the way to make the grade
Banging my head against my own frustration
There's no one but myself here to blame
I don't know what this life is for
What does it mean?
Does anybody really even care?
It's only a dream
Wake me up, wake me up from this nightmare, wake me up
Wake me up, wake me up before I scream, wake me up
Talking to me like I was just a number
Putting me down to make me stay in line
I'm trying to tell you, but you never listen to me
My patience is running out of time
Sick and I'm tired of your manipulation
Waiting for you to tell me what to do
You're slaving away to buy up those possessions you crave
That's why I'm so invisible to you
I don't know what this life is for
What does it mean?
Does anybody really even care?
It's only a dream
Wake me up, wake me up from this nightmare, wake me up
Wake me up, wake me up before I scream, wake me up
[solo]
I don't know what this life is for
What does it mean?
Does anybody really even care?
It's only a dream
I don't know what this life is for
What does it mean?
Does anybody really even care?
It's only a dream
Wake me up, wake me up from this nightmare, wake me up
Wake me up, wake me up before I scream, wake me up
Wake me up, wake me up from this nightmare, wake me up
Wake me up, wake me up before I scream, wake me up
Wake me up
