“Wakin’ Up Alone”

At the end of a long day, I walk home the long way,
Not carin’ if I get there at all.
For no one will be there, so I’ll watch TV there
Alone, waitin’ for someone to call.

It really isn’t so hard, I say
To make it lonely through a day
But I’m just so tired of WAKIN’ UP ALONE.

As I think of the laughter, the vows, “ever after”
And the promise we made to have and to hold.
Well, those words don’t ring true
Now that I’m without you now
Alone, with only the lies that you told.

It’s getting really hard, you see
To spend the night with your memory
And, I’m just so tired of WAKIN’ UP ALONE.

You said we’d always be together.
You said you loved me so.
But as the morning light appears
Baby, please tell me, where did you go?

I lay on the bed now, resting my head now.
Dreamin’ about the love we once knew.
As I face the new day, now, I look for a way now
To go on living my life without you.

It’s getting really hard, you see
To spend the night with your memory.
Oh, I’m just so tired of WAKIN’ UP ALONE.

It really isn’t so hard, I say
To make it lonely through a day,
But I’m just so tired of WAKIN’ UP ALONE.
Yeah, I’m just so tired of WAKIN’ UP ALONE.
