I Wake Up Screaming - The Hotknives

You’re talking to him, you don’t ever talk to me

I’m falling behind, you’re making me blind, pushing me into insanity

To hold your hand again would take a miracle

I’ll watch you build him up, and then I’ll watch him fall

When I wake up, I wake up screaming

Another night of tortured dreaming

And when the nightmare turns to light

I can’t bear another sleepless night

When I wake up, I wake up screaming!

He’s looking at you, well he can look but he can’t see

You tell him you love him, you tell him you need him

You’re making him part of your fantasy

You’ll make him follow you, you’ll make him play the game

You know he’d die for you, it’s such a crying shame

When I wake up, I wake up screaming

Another night of tortured dreaming

And when the nightmare turns to light

I can’t bear another sleepless night

When I wake up, I wake up screaming!

He’s starting to hurt, you know you’ve even made him cry

He can’t understand, when he’s holding your hand

You’re watching other guys go by

And now it dawns on him, that he’s been such a fool

You know you’ve broken him, you’ve broken every rule

When I wake up, I wake up screaming

Another night of tortured dreaming

And when the nightmare turns to light

I can’t bear another sleepless night

When I wake up, I wake up screaming!

When I wake up, I wake up screaming

Another night of tortured dreaming

And when the nightmare turns to light

I can’t bear another sleepless night

When I wake up, I wake up screaming!

When I wake up, I wake up screaming!

Another night of tortured dreaming

And when the nightmare turns to light

I can’t bear another sleepless night

When I wake up, I wake up screaming!

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
