I got your letter and the poetry you sent me

Postmarked in december of last year

I really hope you're doing better

All of your friends close by your side

One step closer to recovery

I wish there was something i could say

To erase each and every page that you've been through

Even though its not my place to save you

I appreciate but can't accept this thank-you note

Thats sealed with your last breath

I won't stand aside and listen to you give up

If you'll just hold on for one more second

Just hold on to what you have

If you'll just hold on, just hold on

You will wake up tommorrow

These arms remain stretched out to you

Maybe someday you'll accept them

Or maybe its too late to save a young girls heart that's long stopped beating

Wake up, wake up you've gotta believe

Wake up, wake up you cant give up

Time keeps going on without us

Long after we're dead and gone

I wish there was something i could say

To erase each and every page

You've been through

Even though its not my place to save you

I appreciate but can't accept this thank-you note

Thats sealed with your last breath

I won't stand aside and listen to you give up

If you'll just hold on for one more second

Just hold on to what you have

If you'll just hold on, just hold on

You will wake up tommorrow
