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 I don't want to wake up lonely
