Manic Street Preachers
Wake Up Alone
[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

[Pre-Chorus]
I stay up, clean the house, at least I'm not drinking
Run around so I just don't have to think about thinking
That silent sense of content that everyone gets
Just disappears soon as the sun sets

[Chorus]
He's fierce in my dreams, seizes my guts, he floods me with dread
Soaked in sorrow, he swims in my eyes by the bed
Pour myself over him, moon spilling in
And I wake up alone

[Verse 2]
If I was my heart, I'd rather be restless
The second I stop, the sleep catches up and I'm breathless
This ache in my chest as my day is done now
The dark covers me and I, I cannot run now
My blood running cold, I stand before him
It's all I can do to, to assure him
When he comes to me, I drip for him tonight
Drowning in me, we bathe under the blue light
[Chorus]
He's fierce in my dreams, seizes my guts, he floods me with dread
Soaked in sorrow, he swims in my eyes before the bed
Pour myself over him, the moon spilling in
And I wake up alone

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