the day i die

Daughtry

Haven t seen the light of day since God knows when
Couldn t force a smile even if I tried
My heart is empty and my bones won t mend
Feels like the river s running dry

And I?
I keep on dreaming of the day I die
Where I escape the darkness in my own mind
It s like a mental funeral, something beautiful
I wanna stay, but I know I gotta let it go
I keep on dreaming of the day I die
And I don t wanna wake up

Melancholy creeps in like a thief in the night
Resentment tries to have its day
I know I m just another dog in their fight
Feeding on the scraps of my mistakes, yeah

And I?
I keep on dreaming of the day I die
Where I escape the darkness in my own mind
It s like a mental funeral, something beautiful
I wanna stay, but I know I gotta let it go
I keep on dreaming of the day I die
And I don t wanna wake up (Wake up)

And I don t wanna wake up, yeah
And I don t wanna wake up

Ooh-ooh, yeah
I keep on dreaming (Dreaming, dreaming, ooh)
I keep on dreaming (Keep on dreaming, ooh)
I keep on dreaming
I keep on dreaming, yeah

(Yeah)

Yeah, and I?
I keep on dreaming of the day I die (Keep on dreaming)
Where I escape the darkness
of my own mind (Keeping on dreaming)
It s like a mental funeral, something beautiful
I wanna stay, but I know I gotta let it go
I keep on dreaming of the day I die
And I don t wanna wake up (Wake up)

Yeah, I don t wanna wake up (Wake up)
Don t wanna wake up
