So wake me up when it's all over When I'm wiser and I'm older All this time I was finding myself I, didn't know I was lost What doesn't kill you makes you stronger Wake me up when it's all over
But I'm only human And I bleed when I fall down I'm only human And I crash and I break down Your words in my head, knives in my heart You fill me up and I fall apart And I'm only
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger Stand a little taller Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone What doesn't kill you makes a fighter Footsteps even lighter Doesn't mean I'm over 'cause you're gone
Another head hangs lowly Child is slowly taken And the violence, caused such silence Who are we mistaken? With their tanks, and their bombs And their bombs, and their guns In your head, in your head they are crying
It's hard to deal with the pain of losing you everywhere I go But I'm doing it It's hard to force that smile when I see our old friends And I'm alone Still harder getting up, getting dressed, living with this regret But I know if I could do it over I would trade, give away all the words that I saved in my heart That I left unspoken What hurts the most Is being so close And having so much to say And watching you walk away And never knowing What could've been And not seeing that love in you Is what I was trying to do
