If I Don't Wake Up Songtext
von Suicidal Tendencies

There are some things you′re not supposed to talk about
Like all the things I ever think about

I guess I'll try, I just wanna sleep
Slip away in a trance so deep
Feel my soul floating free
No more pain left in me

And then I sleep until tomorrow
When I live again, I wake up in sorrow
But it′s just another day
Probably won't remember it anyway, well

Seems like the world is leaving me behind
When I try to explain, you say I've lost my mind
You say I need some help
Well, how else do you think it′s gonna
′Til you get to know it's true?
No help from you


So I sit and think about the things
That I′m not supposed to talk about
I think and I think and I think and I think and
Never no progress, I know I'm not the only one

Wake up

Why do I wake up in the morning?
Nothing has changed since the day of my birth
Why do I wake up in the morning?
I make no difference on this Earth

Strength has left, has to be
Something has died inside of me

If I don′t wake up in the morning
At my funeral, would anyone even care?
If I don't wake up in the morning
Would anyone even be there?

You can put me down
You can put me out
You can try to ignore
But now you′re gonna hear me when I shout

Wake up


Why should I wake up in the morning?
It'll be just another wasted day
Wasted day, another wasted day
Why should I wake up in the morning?
Don't do nothing right anyway

That was then, not anymore
Now I go blasting out the door

I′m gonna wake up in the morning
I′ll prove you wrong, I will not fail
I'm gonna wake up in the morning
I′m gonna blaze a brand new trail

Might not be smart (might not be smart)
But if I'm strong (but if I′m strong)
I know for sure
No one ever, oh, will prove me wrong
Wake up

Wake up
Wake up
Wake up
(Why don't you?)
Wake, wake up

I′ll still wake up in the mornin'
