mother & father

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
