Barely Awake

I've convinced myself now that the sun will always rise and set
It doesn't matter what you've been through at the time
But why doesn't time forget?
I've chased wisps of clouds like you asked me to
I held on tight, I lived for you
And yet somehow the fog inside my mind thickens
The noose tightens, oh
I remember cradling your heart in my hands gently
I would've taken your burdens away, but you wouldn't let me
And these nights grow colder now
How dare the sun come out

I'm barely awake
There's something I've let go of
But I'll be okay
At least that's what I'll say

There are creases in these sheets that will never ever disappear
Like the sounds of your whispers in my ear
But I doubt you remember at all
These hands still hold you closely in a frame
I still stroke your hair, still call your name
But this room echoes all night and I know I'm alone
How do I get home?
I remember drifting in paradise so happily
Too naive to realize promises aren't often made loyally
And now I just stare at the scars
Trying to hear my numb heart


I'm barely awake
There's something I've let go of
But I'll be okay
At least that's what I'll say

A silence hangs heavily here
Wherever I run, I cannot escape my fear
That history will repeat itself and I'll suffer this hell again
How do I overlook my pain?
Lying on the ground without making a sound
Am I even breathing?


I'm barely awake
(Fading away)
There's something I've let go of
(I let go)
But I'll be okay
At least that's what I'll say
(At least that's what I'll say)
(Repeat x1)
