Wake Me Up (When This Nightmare’s Over)

I can’t believe this mess we’re in
Tell me where do I begin?
‘Cause it’s making my head spin
And I can just feel it
It’s never been so loud and clear
I wish that I could disappear
To a place that’s far from here
‘Cause I can just feel it

Tell me we’ll be alright
Tell me we’ll be alright

Yeah, wake me up when this nightmare’s over
Yeah, make it stop, it won’t last much longer
I wanna get away but I can’t escape
Try to run but I’m going nowherе
Yeah, wake me up whеn this nightmare’s over

 

When did this stop making sense?
When did dreams get left for dead?
How the hell did we forget
That nothing else matters?
If we hit the lowest low
There’s only one place left to go
And I won’t just give up hope
‘Cause nothing else matters

Tell me we’ll be alright
Tell me we’ll be alright

Yeah, wake me up when this nightmare’s over
Yeah, make it stop, it won’t last much longer
I wanna get away but I can’t escape
Try to run but I’m going nowhere
Yeah, wake me up when this nightmare’s over (Over, over)

Tell me we’ll be alright (When this nightmare’s over)
Tell me we’ll be alright (When this nightmare’s over)
Tell me we’ll be alright

Yeah, wake me up when this nightmare’s over
Yeah, make it stop, it won’t last much longer
I wanna get away but I can’t escape
Try to run but I’m going nowhere
Yeah, wake me up when this nightmare’s over

Tell me we’ll be alright
Tell me we’ll be alright
Tell me we’ll be alright
Wake me up when this nightmare’s over
Tell me we’ll be alright
Tell me we’ll be alright (Yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah)
Tell me we’ll be alright
Wake me up when this nightmare’s over

Check it out below:

And if you’d like to sing-along, here’s the full lyrics to Ruin My Life:

I used to lie awake and let you occupy my mind
I used to put you first and always leave myself behind
And I’ll admit you got real close but I’ll be sleeping fine tonight
Sorry, I don’t mean to disappoint you
You didn’t ruin my life

Why did I let you in my head
I never should have let you creep in
Every single word you said
Got to find a way to shake it

You don’t want to let me be
You want to see me fall to pieces
Trying to put a curse on me
Got to find a way to break it

I used to lie awake and let you occupy my mind
I used to put you first and always leave myself behind
And I’ll admit you got real close but I’ll be sleeping fine tonight
Sorry, I don’t mean to disappoint you
You didn’t ruin my life

Some days I just can’t win
You’re always there to point your finger
But words will never pierce my skin
Finally found a way to shake them
You can spill your hate on me
Now I know that I can take it
And you’re the one who’s hurt
Clearly you’re the one who’s really breaking

I used to lie awake and let you occupy my mind
I used to put you first and always leave myself behind
And I’ll admit you got real close but I’ll be sleeping fine tonight
Sorry, I don’t mean to disappoint you
You didn’t ruin my life
