I Woke Up Older
I took a turn for the worst
when i woke up
noticed you were gone
and I knew you wouldn't be back
that is why I woke up older
I couldn't understand
understand the pain
the pain of being lost
that is how I woke up older
I woke up to find
the smell of shame and sex
the shame was from
my repeated sins
I can't run from them
I can't hide from them
I can't shut out their voices
that is how I knew I woke up older
I just knew
I'd find someone else
Someone else to take the pain
that is how I woke up older
Every bit of ecstasy
can't take away
the pain from you
that is how I knew I woke up older
I made love to someone
and I was thinking of you the whole time
even though you hurt me
I will always wake up older
A woman told me
she told me she knew you
she knew that you'd kill every part of me
and she was right
Every morning
I will wake up older
when i woke up
noticed you were gone
and I knew you wouldn't be back
that is why I woke up older
I couldn't understand
understand the pain
the pain of being lost
that is how I woke up older
I woke up to find
the smell of shame and sex
the shame was from
my repeated sins
I can't run from them
I can't hide from them
I can't shut out their voices
that is how I knew I woke up older
I just knew
I'd find someone else
Someone else to take the pain
that is how I woke up older
Every bit of ecstasy
can't take away
the pain from you
that is how I knew I woke up older
I made love to someone
and I was thinking of you the whole time
even though you hurt me
I will always wake up older
A woman told me
she told me she knew you
she knew that you'd kill every part of me
and she was right
Every morning
I will wake up older
