The Morning After
Linkin Park · Other Songs - Linkin Park
Time to chill in the bar again
Never seize to amaze the night
So i just sleep, sleep, sleep,
But please don't...
Wake me til the morning after
Wake me til the morning after
Cut and bruised by the fall again
Lick my wounds like a dog again
Is that a light at the end of the tunnel that
I see I see please let it be but don't...
Wake me til the morning after (x3)
Oh, I'm so tired, there it has to be an end
To the pain I feel when I'm awake and alive alive alive
Alive and I'm not dreamin, oh
Caught up against the wall again
Time to chill in the bar again
Is that a light at the end of the tunnel that
I see I see please let it be but don't...
Wake me til the morning after (x3)
Oh, I'm so tired, there it has to be an end
To the pain I feel when I'm awake and alive alive alive
Alive and I'm not dreamin
