Fallen version (3:56)Lyrics in blue indicate Paul McCoy's vocals.How can you see into my eyes Like open doors, Leading you down into my core, Where I've become so numb? Without a soul, My spirit's sleeping somewhere cold Until you find it there and lead it Back home. [Chorus] Wake me up. Wake me up inside. I can't wake up. Wake me up inside. Save me. Call my name and save me from the dark. Wake me up. Bid my blood to run I can't wake up. Before I come undone. Save me. Save me from the nothing I've become. Now that I know what I'm without, You can't just leave me. Breathe into me and make me real. Bring me to life. [Chorus] Bring me to life. I've been living a lie; There's nothing inside. Bring me to life. Frozen inside without your touch, Without your love, darling - Only you are the life Among the dead. All this time, I can't believe I couldn't see. Kept in the dark, but you were there in front of me. I've been sleeping a thousand years it seems, Got to open my eyes to everything. Without a though, without a voice, without a soul. Don't let me die here. There must be something more. Bring me to life. [Chorus] Bring me to life. I've been living a lie; There's nothing inside. Bring me to life. Bring me to life. |   |
