So she wakes up in time to break down
She left a note up on the dresser, and she's right on time
You don't know anything, right or wrong
I said, "I kno-o-o-ow"
And she said, "So-o-o-o?"
I wanna panic, but I've had it, so I go-o-o-o
"You don't owe anything to anyone
But don't take your life
'Cause it's all that you've got
You'd be better off just up and leaving if you don't think they will stop"
And when you wake up
Everything is gonna be fine
I guarantee that you wake in a better place
In a better time
So you're tired of living?
You feel like you might give in?
Well don't
It's not your time
Lookin' through the paper today
Lookin' for a specific page
Don't wanna find her full name followed by dates
'Cause when I left her alone
She made a sound like a moan
"You're known by everyone for everything you've done"
Fuck buyin' flowers for graves
I'd rather buy you a one way non-stop
To anywhere, find anyone, do anything
Forget and start again, love
She says she won't go (And that's that)
It hurts too much to stand by
You've gotta stop and draw a line
Everyone here has to choose a side tonight
The moment of truth is haunting you
Don't forget your family regardless what you choose to do
You can't decide
And they're all screaming, "Why won't you?"
I'll start the engine, but I can't take this ride for you
I'll draw your bath, and I'll load your gun
But I hope so bad that you'll bathe and hunt
Annie's tired of forgettin' about today and always plannin' for tomorrow (Tomorrow) Tomorrow, Annie says
"The saddest day I came across was when I learned that life goes on without me" (Without me) Without me, and I said
"If everyone has someone else, well, I ain't got nobody's love to save me" (To save me) To save me, Annie said
"I think I'll pass away tonight, 'cause it seems I'll never get it right, it's just me" (It's just me) Just me, and I said
"And when you wake up
Everything is gonna be fine
Guarantee that you wake in a better place
In a better time
So you're tired of living?
You feel like you might give in?
Well don't
It's not your time"
Annie said she wouldn't mind if they never find a cure to all her problems (Her problems) Problems, and she said
"As long as she has someone near to make it clear she doesn't need to solve them (To solve them) Solve them, Annie said
"Oh, this loneliness is killing me, it's filling me with anger and resentment (Resentment) Resentment, and she said
"I'm turning into someone that I never thought I'd have to be again"
And when you wake up
Everything is gonna be fine
Guarantee that you wake in a better place
In a better time
So you're tired of living?
Feel like you might give in?
Well don't
It's not your time
Oh, Annie's tired of forgettin' about today and always plannin' for tomorrow, tomorrow, and she said
"The saddest day I came across was when I learned that life goes on without me," without me, and I said
"If everyone has someone else, well, I ain't got nobody's love to save me," so save me, and she said
"I think I'll pass away tonight, 'cause it seems I'll never get it right, it's just me," it's just me, and I said
"And when you wake up
Everything is gonna be fine
I guarantee that you wake in a better place
And in a better time
So you're tired of living?
And you feel like you might give in?
Well don't
It's not your time"
"And even if it was so, oh, I wouldn't let you go
You can run run run run, but I will follow close
Someday, you'll say "that's it, that's all"
But I'll be waiting there with open arms to break your fall
I know that you think that you're on your own
But just know that I'm here, and I'll lead you home if you let me
She said "Forget me," but I can't...
