The story starts with a broken heart
And you said, “Honey, fall apart… and I’ll fix you”
Me... drunk on you, high on us
Didn't see it coming
Funny how things turn around
(pre)
Now I pray...
Pray for sleep every second of the day..... Cause
(chorus)
It only hurts when I'm awake
Wanna sleep all day and night
Gotta drink you off my mind
This hell is mine to pay
Only hurts when I'm awake
Always lost inside a buzz
Take me back to who I was
To love was my mistake
It only hurts when I'm a'
It only hurts when I'm a'
It only hurts when I'm awake
Where we slept, now an… empty bed
Like a death, suddenly you left and didn’t take me
It’s not real and I hate how I feel
Joke’s on me
Sick of crying myself to sleep
Chorus
(bridge)
I gave you my all
And you threw it back
That’s how love goes, they said it
You gave up, fate wasn’t enough
How could I know, you’d do this
Stuck in a place where my heart’s frozen
I lie awake with eyes wide open
Chorus
