The nights are getting shorter I don't know where to go I am getting older And it's starting to show And ever since I left my mother It's much harder to know How to make my own life here How to make my own home I don't want to wake up lonely I don't want to just be fine I don't want to keep on hoping Forget what I had in mind I don't want to wake up lonely I don't want to just be fine I don't want to keep on hoping Forget what I had in mind Forget what I had in mind I remember a time when a kiss on the hand was enough 'Cause we know we were free And we knew what it meant to be love But ever since I left my father It's much harder to know How to make my own life here When all I need is home I don't want to wake up lonely I don't want to just be fine I don't want to keep on hoping Forget what I had in mind I don't want to wake up lonely I don't want to just be fine I don't want to keep on hoping Forget what I had in mind Forget what I had in mind This face's is starting to fade They're slipping through my hands It's where my heart was made And my feet will always land I don't want to wake up lonely I don't want to just be fine I don't want to keep on hoping Forget what I had in mind I don't want to wake up lonely I don't want to just be fine I don't want to keep on hoping Forget what I had in mind Forget what I had in mind I don't want to wake up lonely
