I woke to what was safer late at nightnwith the lights dimnIlluminated, it’s staring me downnNow I’m not any braver than I’ve ever been,nand you’ve never beennOne to let me feel like I could never let you downnnWas I just too quiet all those moments I could feel itnWeighing on our frail and aging dreams?nThought I was supposed to fight it, maybe wait it out, shake my doubtsnBut that’s not how either of us wanted it to bennCHORUS:nWake up, DearnIt’s colder inside thannYour faith or my fearncan shoulder this timennIt got cast aside like all the lettersnI keep telling you I’ll writenwhen things slow down, but what does that meannThat I’ll start living life when I can make it fit,nmaybe I'll start caring for you sometime in between?nnCHORUSnnGo ahead, I’m listeningnGot an ear for disappointmentnI can hear it on my breathnit’s the same, same storynI can hear it in your sweet sighnnCHORUS
