The nights are getting shorter

I don't know where they go

And I am getting older

And it's starting to show.

And ever since I left my mother

It's much harder to know

How to make my own life here

How to make my own home.

I don't want to wake up lonely

I don't want to just be fine

I don't want to keep on hoping

Forget what I have in mind

I don't want to wake up lonely

I don't want to just be fine

I don't want to keep on hoping

Forget what I have in mind

Forget what I have in mind.

I remember the time when a kiss on the hand was enough

Cause we knew we were free

And we knew what it meant to be loved.

But ever since I left my father

It's much harder to know

How to live my own life here

When all I need is home.

I don't want to wake up lonely

I don't want to just be fine

I don't want to keep on hoping

Forget what I have in mind

I don't want to wake up lonely

I don't want to just be fine

I don't want to keep on hoping

Forget what I have in mind

Forget what I have in mind.

As faces start to fade

They're slipping through my hands

It's where my heart was made

And my feet will always land.

I don't want to wake up lonely

I don't want to just be fine

I don't want to keep on hoping

Forget what I have in mind

I don't want to wake up lonely

I don't want to just be fine

I don't want to keep on hoping

Forget what I have in mind

Forget what I have in mind.
