In Pieces Lyrics

[Verse 1: Nick, All & Brian]
So I lie awake another hour
Just like the one before
The shadows play a game with my head
I can't take this anymore
I hear the sound
Of my own breathing
It makes me miss you more


[Chorus: AJ with All, Brian]
Wake me up when it's over
After the ending
When the damage has all been done
I don't wanna be somewhere
Where you can watch me as I bleed
Just leave me here in pieces
In pieces


[Verse 2: Nick, All & Brian]
I can't take the chance
Of running into
You running into me
So lock the door
And close the window
I just wanna see
Until the day
Inside my future
Where I'll be on my feet

[Chorus: AJ with All, Brian]
Wake me up when it's over
After the ending
When the damage has all been done
(The damage is done)
I don't wanna be somewhere
Where you can watch me as I bleed
Just leave me here in pieces
In pieces


[Bridge: AJ]
If you want you can find me
On the dark side of the sun
Babe I don't wanna see
What we've become...
The damage has all been done

[Chorus: All, AJ, (Nick) & Brian]
Wake me up when it's over (wake me up)
After the ending (when it's over)
When the damage has all been done
(The damage is done)
I don't wanna be somewhere (somewhere)
(I don't wanna be somewhere)
Where you can watch me as I bleed
(Where you feel me bleeding)
Just leave me here in pieces
(Just leave me in pieces)
In pieces (just leave me in pieces)
[Outro: AJ & All]
Wake me up when it's over yeah (in pieces)
Just wake me up when it's over yeah

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
