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
