Please don't wake me I'm really not asleep I've just gone inside my head, to try and find some peace I don't know why I come here, but I know it keeps me warm Hiding from my fears, holding back the tears Just trying to keep my head above the storm Please don't ask me how I feel I can't hear you anywayCause I'm in here dreaming and I'm oh so far away I keep looking for something that's getting very hard to find Hiding from my fears, holding back the tears And struggling with these questions in my mind Why can't I figure out just which path to choose? Why do I always feel like I'm just about to lose? My life's a mystery and there is no master plan I'm just trying' to keep the boy inside the man A lifetime's worth of growing up doesn't change that little kid Who didn't know the road ahead or would have cared even if he did But now that I am older, the memories begin to fade Hiding from my fears, holding back the tears Just falling through life day after day Please don't wake me I'm really not asleep
