Don’t Wake Me

Donna AI Music Your breath… On my neck… Don’t wake me… Not yet… In my dreams you’re lying next to me Like you never really left me Fingers drawing halos on my skin Like you never let the darkness in I don’t know why you still appear Every time I close my eyes you’re here Wake up with your name caught in my teeth Bite it down before it cuts too deep Don’t wake me Not yet Let your ghost stay in my bed I’d rather ache than forget Rather burn than regret Don’t wake me Not yet Hold me where the hurt once bled If this is just a dream we met Don’t wake me Not yet You arrive in fragments, out of frame Same old hoodie, but your face has changed Laugh lines turned to fault lines on your cheeks Still I chase the after-image in my sleep You say nothing, but I hear it all Every promise written on the wall I reach out and feel you slipping through Wide awake and still I run to you Don’t wake me Not yet Let your ghost stay in my bed I’d rather ache than forget Rather burn than regret Don’t wake me Not yet Hold me where the hurt once bled If this is just a dream we met Don’t wake me Not yet [drop hits, vocals chopped] Stay, stay, stay (in the dark) Fade, fade, fade (from my heart) I keep you where the daylight ends Half in love and half pretend Don’t wake me Not yet Let your ghost stay in my bed I’d rather ache than forget Rather burn than regret Don’t wake me Not yet Hold me where the hurt once bled If this is all I’ve got of you Let me sleep this lie as truth Don’t wake me Not yet
