Wake Up

Pace myself for the long stretch

Racing around to head off trouble

My heart’s pounding under the surface

I trip and stumble, scrape and tumble

Every time I wake up

Running from the heart ache

Looking for an escape

But I’m the only one who can

Heal this broken man

Circle round the bend in my head

Pushing through the pain in my chest

Stitch in my side tares open again

I want to scream, but there’s no air left

Every night I lay down

Thinking about my mistakes

Looking for a scapegoat

But I’m the only one around

To blame for all I am

Every time I wake up

Running from the heart ache

Looking for an escape

But I’m the only one who can

Heal this broken man

Heal this broken man, heal this broken man

I’ll heal this broken man

Heal this broken man
