Wake Up Alone (Live At Shepherd’s Bush Empire, London / 2007)

[Verse 1]
It's okay in the day, I'm staying busy
Tied up enough, so I don't have to wonder, "Where is he?"
Got so sick of crying, so just lately
When I catch myself, I do a 180
I stay up, clean the house
Least I'm not drinking
Run around just so I don't have to think about thinking
That silent sense of content that everyone gets
Just disappears as soon as the sun sets

[Chorus]
He gets fierce in my dreams seizing my guts
He floods me with dread
Soaked to his soul, he swims in my eyes by the bed
Pour mysеlf over him
Moon spilling in
And I wake up alone

[Verse 2]
As far as my hеart, I'd rather be restless
Second I stop, the sleep catches up and I'm breathless
'Cause this ache in my chest
'Cause my day is done now
The dark covers me and I cannot run now
My blood running cold, I stand before him (Before him)
It's all I can do to assure him (Assure him)
When he comes to me, I drip for him tonight
Drowning in me, we bathe under blue light (Under blue)

[Chorus]
He gets fierce in my dreams seizing my guts
He floods me with dread
Soaked to his soul, he swims in my eyes by the bed
Pour myself over him
Moon spilling in
But I wake up alone

[Outro]
Yeah, I wake up alone
And I wake up alone
And I wake up alone

Um...hello, baby! How you feelin'? You alright? Cool...cool...cool...shut up, Amy. Um, um, um, yeah, this, this next one's about, um, when you're in a, when you're in a, when you're in a relationship, um, and you, um, you know that...you know it can't really work out, but—and even though, um, even though you know you're gonna be, even though you know you're gonna be upset when it finishes, you know you'll get over it...and it's just something you have to...something, something you've gotta do
