I’ve gotten used to being introduced.
“Hello. What’s your name? How are you?”
They see my smile, my laugh, and the hurt behind my eyes.
Loss is not so easily disguised.

I’ll try my best to keep on with my sunny disposition.
But I close my eyes and end up reminiscing.

So save me from waking up tonight.
Save me from waking up tonight.
Cause I toss and I turn and it doesn’t feel right.
Save me from waking up tonight.

Left to my own devices,
I’d stay up till 3 am.
Spend the whole day barely awake,
And then do it all again.

Cause my dreams are filled with pleasantries
That make me think you’re here with me.
They won’t let my poor heart mend.

I have tried my darnedest to continue smiling wide,
But I miss you and that’s something I can’t hide.

So save me from waking up tonight.
Please, save me from waking up tonight.
I thought I was fine, but it looks as if I might,
Not make it through the night.

So save me from waking up tonight.
Please, save me from waking up tonight.
Cause I toss and I turn and it doesn’t feel right.
Please, save me from waking up tonight.
