Lyrics:

Woke up with beauty in my bed

And isn't it sad how we don't know it's beauty until it's dead?

And it's beauty that I knew so well

Well she wasn't doin' too well, well 

I just wanna go someplace

Where no one knows my name

And I don't have to explain

No, I don't have to retain

That I lie to myself or protect myself

For the benefit of myself

Well I want power in my words, I want passion in my eyes

And when I wake up I want life to be a surprise

And I guess that I didn't know it all along

And I guess that I never guessed that I'd ever guess wrong

(Guess wrong) And I set myself up every time you leave

(Every time you) To destroy the things I've got for the things I need

Each conversation separate from themselves

Separates good from bad

And they never want what you’ve got until it's up for grabs

And then they want what you have

They want what you had

Well I just wanna go someplace

Where no one knows my face

And I don't have to explain

No, I don't have to retain

That I lie to myself, that I protect myself

For the benefit of myself

I want power in my words, I want passion in my eyes

And when I wake up I want life to be a surprise

And I guess that I didn't know it all along

And I'd never guess that I'd ever go and guess wrong

(Guess wrong) And I set myself up every time you leave

(Every time you) To deny the things I love

For the things I need, for the things I need

Oh I want to break through to breakthrough

I want one thing I've wanted to come through

Oh to come true

I want passion in my eyes, I want power in my words

And when I wake up I want life to be a surprise

And I never thought that I'd wake up and be starving for you 

No I never thought that I'd wake up

And I'd be hungry, I'm hungry for you

I'm, break through to break through

I want one thing I wanted to come through

Ah to come true

I want power in my words, I want passion in my eyes

And when I wake up I want life to be a surprise

And I guess that I didn't know it all along

And I'll never guess

That I'll ever go ahead and guess wrong

Oh I want to break through to break through

I want one thing I've dreamed for to come true

To come through

Oh I set myself up every time you leave

To destroy the things I've got for the things I need

To destroy the things I love for the things I've seen
