Don't Wake Me Up

Can somebody make me a get out of jail card
 That'll work on broke heart
 Cause I left my strength in the gutter
 Something's been pointing the trigger at my soul
 And now there's a big hole
 And I can't fill it up with liquor
 How much have I gotta take
 Before there's a start to change
 I'm not asking for
 More than what I deserve
 It's just the price I pay
 Cause I wouldn't go away
 And leave you alone
 To carry it all without me
 
 Don't wake me up
 Til' life starts making sense
 Cause I've been killing myself again
 Don't wake me up
 Til' there's meaning in the suffering
 And God stops making enemies out of friends
 Cause if I don't wake up then
 Maybe I could begin again
 ♪
 I got a demon that's been chasing me down
 And recently I found
 He's probably been here forever
 It's taken a lot to get me to where I am
 But now that I look back
 I could've done this so much better
 What was I supposed to do
 What was I supposed to say
 It's not like I'm meant to fall apart
 How could you go and take
 What you had no right to take
 And tear out my heart
 And take me apart piece by piece
 
 Don't wake me up
 Til' life starts making sense
 Cause I've killing myself again
 Don't wake me up
 Til' there's meaning in the suffering
 And God stops making enemies out of friends
 Cause if I don't wake up then
 Maybe I could begin again
 I'd trade my last breath for a second chance
 If it unchains my hands
 Cause I can't take anymore
 If I don't wake up
 I hope you remember me
 And know that I did the best I could
 And when you speak of me
 Show pictures when I was young
 Before the world took the light out of me
 And at the end of your days
 When it's your turn to fall asleep
 I hope you did this better than me
 So when I see you next
 We'll both be at peace
 And by then I'll be a better man
 So when you don't wake up
 That's when you'll see me again
