Lyrics
Wake up
Your life is just a dream
These people who surround you
Aren't really who they seem
C'mon
I know you're not a fool
But the bright lights & the red wine
Have cast a spell on you
And I keep failing to break through
CHORUS
What are you doing with him?
What foolish fantasy are you trying to spin?
My sister, I am shelter but I'm helpless
If you don't let me in
What are you doin' with him?
Stand up
It's time to walk away
You've done everything that you could do
You can't make him change
You're right
People will speculate
But a rumor's just the fruit of fear
And the truth will swallow shame
This ain't no home for the brave
CHORUS
This pedestal you put him on
Won't seem so high when we're long, long gone
CHORUS
