Next To Normal - You Don\'t Know lyrics

rate me

Diana:<br />

Do you wake up in the morning<br />

And need help to lift your head?<br />

Do you read obituaries<br />

And feel jealous of the dead?<br />

It's like living on a cliffside<br />

Not knowing when you'll dive... <br />

Do you know, <br />

Do you know<br />

What it's like to die alive?<br />

<br />

When a world that once had color<br />

Fades to white and grey and black... <br />

When tomorrow terrifies you<br />

But you'll die if you look back.<br />

<br />

You don't know, <br />

I know you don't know.<br />

You say that you're hurting—<br />

It sure doesn't show.<br />

You don't know... <br />

It lays me so low<br />

When you say let go<br />

And I say<br />

You don't know... <br />

<br />

The sensation that you're screaming<br />

But you never make a sound, <br />

Or the feeling that you're falling<br />

But you never hit the ground—<br />

It just keeps on rushing at you<br />

Day by day by day by day... <br />

You don't know<br />

You don't know<br />

What it's like to live that way.<br />

<br />

Like a refugee, a fugitive<br />

Forever on the run... <br />

If it gets me, it will kill me—<br />

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