[Verse 1]
Tell me 'bout it when you’re sober
Wake me up when your nightmare is over
And all our days are getting colder
Lay me down, I’ll be closer to you

[Bridge]
Even if I try
And god, I’ve tried so many times
And I gave you up
Then I got hope in us but not very much

[Refrain]
My heart’s not strong enough to hold you (how could I hold you?)
I doubt that’s what I’m supposed to do (but you want me to)
And I’m not strong enough to push you away
Cause I’m not you

[Verse 2]
Friday nights are your shelter
Wake me up when you're numb and your head hurts
But the pain is getting worse
Pour your heart out, I’m still confusеd

[Bridge]
Even if I try
And god, I’ve tried so many timеs
And I gave you up
Then I got hope in us but not very much

[Refrain]
My heart’s not strong enough to hold you (how could I hold you?)
I doubt that’s what I’m supposed to do (but you want me to)
And I’m not strong enough to push you away
Cause I’m not you

[Bridge]
Wake me up when your nightmare is over
But maybe you’re not getting closer
Wake me up when your nightmare is over
When it’s over
Is it ever over?

[Refrain]
My heart’s not strong enough to hold you (how could I hold you?)
I doubt that’s what I’m supposed to do (but you want me to)
And I’m not strong enough to push you away
Cause I’m not you

I'm not you
I'm not you
I'm not you
