I WOKE UP

Illusions wear a false disguise, But they can never warm the heart. You mistook desire for true love, You mistook desire for true love, And left behind nothing but pain where passion used to be. After all this time, You realized your dream was only smoke. You realized your dream was only smoke. Then you came searching for shelter At the door you once walked away from. [Bridge – building with piano and strings] I learned to choose myself. I learned how to survive. My scars became my greatest strength, And taught me how to come alive again. Today I look back With no anger, with no chains. Because the one who lost me Lost a love that was real, not just another choice. [Final Chorus – bigger and more powerful] Now you're knocking on my door, Saying the world let you down. But I was the one who cried alone, I was the one who found my way back. Now you're running back to me, But time never turned around. You lost the one who truly loved you, And I found someone who truly loves me.You thought I'd wait forever... You thought I'd hurt for all my life... But life has shown me... The one who lost... Was you.
