Graveblankets I Woke Up Lyrics

I Woke Up Lyrics

I woke up in the middle of our dream
Sure of everything we’d done and seen
But the loving words had all been replaced
By that angry look on your handsome face
And you gave away nothing with your eyes
And I became one unexpressed sigh

I woke up to find nothing that was mine

I tried to remember what I dreamt
When we said and did everything we meant
But the more I tried the more it disappeared
Till the beauty turned into doubt and fear

I woke up to find nothing that was mine

And you gave away nothing
And you gave away nothing
And you gave away nothing with your eyes

As I watched you walk up and down my stairs
I had an inclination to stop breathing the air
But I don’t have the guts to take my own life
I prefer escape and all that it implies

So now I’m going back to where we slept
Where peace becomes the promises we kept
And I’ll never need a souvenir
Cause I’m never ever going away from here

I woke up to find nothing that was mine
I woke up to find nothing that was mine
