Lyrics I Wake Up Screaming - The Hotknives

I Wake Up Screaming

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!
