Your Wake Up Call

I've been up all night
  pacing the floor
Poppin' pills to fall asleep
  they don't work anymore
Just when I thought
  true love I had found
Your wake up call
  sank my heart to the ground

Your wake up call
Cut me down to my knees
Scattered my dreams
Adrift in the breeze
I'm too tired to stand
I'm too wired to sleep
I'm afraid of the morning
And the job I must keep

I've been up all night
  thinking of you
Of the things that you promised
  you never would do
It's a hard road to travel
  when slips away
You shut out your friends
  'cause there's nothing to say

Your wake up call
Cut me down to my knees
Scattered my dreams
Adrift in the breeze
I'm too tired to stand
I'm too wired to sleep
I'm afraid of the morning
And the job I must keep

(Repeat chorus, with last two lines:)

But a new day is dawning
And the world I must greet
