I wake up screaming

You're talking to him, you don't ever talk to me.
I'm falling behind, you're making me blind, pushing me into insanity.
To hold your hand again would take a miracle.
I'll watch you build him up, and then I'll watch him fall.

When I wake up, I wake up screaming.
Another night of tortured dreaming.
And when the nightmare turns to light,
I can't bear another sleepless night.
When I wake up, I wake up screaming!

He's looking at you, well he can look but he can't see.
You tell him you love him, you tell him you need him,
you're making him part of your fantasy.
You'll make him follow you, you'll make him play the game.
You know he'd die for you, it's such a crying shame.

When I wake up, I wake up screaming.
Another night of tortured dreaming.
And when the nightmare turns to light,
I can't bear another sleepless night.
When I wake up, I wake up screaming!

He's starting to hurt, you know you've even made him cry.
He can't understand, when he's holding your hand,
you're watching other guys go by.
And now it dawns on him, that he's been such a fool.
You know you've broken him, you've broken every rule.

When I wake up, I wake up screaming.
Another night of tortured dreaming.
And when the nightmare turns to light,
I can't bear another sleepless night.
When I wake up, I wake up screaming!

When I wake up, I wake up screaming.
Another night of tortured dreaming.
And when the nightmare turns to light,
I can't bear another sleepless night.
When I wake up, I wake up screaming!
When I wake up, I wake up screaming!
Another night of tortured dreaming.
And when the nightmare turns to light,
I can't bear another sleepless night.
When I wake up, I wake up screaming!
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
