I fell asleep a boy, and when I woke I was a man   Forced to mature by this cold world that surrounds us   What once was so innocent before is now lost   Let down by the elders that we use to trust      We were all meant for so much more than this   No more turning back, no more giving in   Although time has locked us in regret   We won’t back down, this can’t be over yet   (repeat)      I fell asleep a boy and when I woke I was a man   Forced to mature by this cold world that surrounds us   What once was so innocent before is now lost   Let down by the elders we use to trust      We'll water our pillows with candid memories   Praying for things to be the way they used to be   Somehow always blaming ourselves again and again   Hoping that we will finally see the end   All the broken promises and fallen dreams   Courtesy of our creators   False hope busting out of their seams   They’re becoming such outstanding traitors      No more turning back, no more giving in   We were all meant for so much more than this   (repeat)      A child so small, locking up everything inside   Scared and alone, the only thing to do is hide   Accepting the decisions that were way over our heads   Hearing the yelling from our tear-covered beds   Now with a void that's only half-filled   Cradling the memories that haven’t yet been killed   Although time has us locked in regret   We won’t back down, this can’t be over yet   We have coped with the pain that is inevitable   Recovered from the deep wound that made us so unstable      We'll live ready for tomorrow like it was yesterday   Caught up in the past when we need to focus on today   (repeat)      We'll flood our pillows with candid memories   Praying for things to be the way they used to be   Somehow always blaming ourselves again and again   We'll flood our pillows with candid memories   Praying for things to be the way they use to be   Hoping that we'll finally see the end      No more turning back, no more giving in   We were all meant for something so much more than this
