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
