I Am King - Illuminate lyrics

Restless waking nightmares
Bleed into the daylight
Picture perfect storybook endings
Out of sight

I know you know that I know
I’m a mess without you here
I know you know that I know
They only exist in fairy tales

I’d sell my soul for just another night
Where the same dream comes alive
And we’re brought back together
We’ll stay here forever untill
The end of time
Pins and needles fill my lungs with
Holes and I am left breathless
Absence makes the heart grow fonder they say
But I don’t buy in

I know you know that I know
I’m a mess without you here
I know you know that I
Know that nothing else compares

I’d sell my soul for just another night
Where the same dream comes alive
And we’re brought back together
We’ll stay here forever untill
The end of time

What I’d give to break these
Walls and let you in
This money’s fed to the wishing well
And I’m broke beyond repair
(I’m broke beyond repair)

No one else will ever live up to
The beautiful perfection I see in you
Maybe I’m just out of my mind
Or maybe lost in my mind
I think I’m losing my mind
Oh baby I can’t imagine a life without you

I’m broke beyond repair

Nothing else will ever compare to
The feeling that I get when
I’m dreaming of you so close but so far away
There’s nothing that I can change

Here’s to all the emptiness that I’ve known
A song for all the lonely to sing along
Maybe I was meant to be alone
Maybe we’re better off alone

We may be alone but we’re never on our own
Love works in mysterious ways
Fate is destined to change
There’s always someone who feels the same

I know you know that I know that you know
That I’m a mess but I just
Smile and put on a show
I just smile and put on a show
