"Wake Me When It's Over" lyrics - THE CRANBERRIES

THE CRANBERRIES
"Wake Me When It's Over"

Trying to forget
Something that you know
It hasn't killed you, yet
But you cannot let it go
Trying to exist
Trying not to scream
How it does persist
Entrapped inside a dream

[Chorus:]
Fighting's not the answer
Fighting's not the cure
It's eating you like cancer
It's killing you for sure
Wake me when it's over
Wake me when it's over
Wake me when it's over
Wake me when it's over (Oh ooh)

[Bridge:]
Living in the past
It's difficult to hide
Some things will never last
When you're swallowing your pride

[Chorus:]
Fighting's not the answer
Fighting's not the cure
It's eating you like cancer
It's killing you for sure
Wake me when it's over
Wake me when it's over
Wake me when it's over
Wake me when it's over

[Hook:]
Watch the rain drop
Watch the rain drop
Watch the rain drop
Watch the rain drop
Watch the rain drop

[Outro:]
So wake me when it's over
Wake me when it's over
Wake me when it's over
Wake me when it's over
Wake me when it's over
Wake me when it's over
Wake me when it's over
Wake me when it's over (Ahh)
