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 rally 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 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 slaying 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
