It Never Came

i just kept waiting
for the expression on your face to change
to give me a reason to take another breath
but it never came... and i couldn't even
force myself to wake up

so i stared you down
trying to see, a muscle move
i caught you blink, and i felt the mood shift
it's not like you and i to end like this
in another metaphorical embrace
so let's change the atmosphere together
i'll wake up and you'll be here
the girl from my dreams... once faceless
but it never came, and i couldn't even
force myself to wake up

(wake up)

when the nightmares came,
i couldn't even force myself to wake up
