Next To Normal - You Don't Know (feat. Alice Ripley) lyrics

rate me

Diana:

Do you wake up in the morning

And need help to lift your head?

Do you read obituaries

And feel jealous of the dead?

It's like living on a cliffside

Not knowing when you'll dive...

Do you know,

Do you know

What it's like to die alive?

When a world that once had color

Fades to white and grey and black...

When tomorrow terrifies you

But you'll die if you look back.

You don't know,

I know you don't know.

You say that you're hurting--

It sure doesn't show.

You don't know...

It lays me so low

When you say let go

And I say

You don't know...

The sensation that you're screaming

But you never make a sound,

Or the feeling that you're falling

But you never hit the ground--

It just keeps on rushing at you

Day by day by day by day...

You don't know

You don't know

What it's like to live that way.

Like a refugee, a fugitive

Forever on the run...

If it gets me, it will kill me--

But I don't know what I've done.
