This is a Wake Up Call

I haven't slept in so long (so long, so long)
I haven't picked up the phone in so long (so long)
I haven't slept in so long (so long, so long)
But if I did would it work or just hurt?
This is a wake up call but there's no one home
Please leave a message and I'll try to get back to you
I haven't tried for so long (so long, so long)
I haven't tried my best for so long (so long)
I haven't tried for so long (so long, so long)
But if I did would it work or just hurt?
This is not the voice that you expected to hear
This is not the voice
I can hear you in the background
I can hear you in the background singing
This is a wake up call but there's no one home
Please leave a message and I'll try to get back to you
In the background singing
In the background singing

A recycled romantic plot
Only want what you haven’t got
Always trying to join a team
And using words to hide what I mean
We only came here for your hearts
I found a heart to put to my sleeve
But it’s bleeding out self-esteem
Pinned my hopes up to a cult
So if it fails then it’s all my fault
We only came here for your hearts

Grab a handhold, you’ve got your hands full
You’ve got to learn to let things go
The air tastes thin, you are a mountain
You have to learn to climb yourself
Take a moment, embrace the vertigo
You have to learn to let this go
You can’t live here, the air is too thin
Descend, restart, regrow
Everything you learned to love you lost you let it go
Pain happens, and pain is everything
You have to learn to start again
Grab a blanket, think of loved ones
You have to learn to reconnect
The mountain’s silent, it houses memories
You have to learn to laugh again
There is a void here, where nothing happens
Descend, restart, regrow
Everything you learned to love you lost you let it go
And every heartbeat pulses blood that makes me feel so cold
And every beat that used to warm now makes me feel so old
And every time you squeeze the heart back up and let it grow
And everything you learned to love you lost you let it go

Everything you’ve got is everything you’ve ever known
And everything we have is everything we’ve ever grown
Were you self-taught that pain is just another name for home?
It’s hard to fight the thoughts when they’re the only things you’ve ever known
But, but, but, but, but
Is your heart in the right place?
Try to fall in love
Try to fall in love
Is this the right place?
Have you convinced yourself that all your fears are overblown?
And do you struggle finding peace within the skin and bone?
Self-doubt’s not welcome it is time to see it overthrown
It’s hard to fight the thoughts when they’re the only thing you’ve ever known
