I cant handle the pressure
So I'll go to sleep
Call me, Call me, please.

I'm sorry;
You've reached my answering machine
Because I've cracked.

Try to wake me
It will not work
I dread the day I will wake up
To see your face above me

But I won't wake up.
No, No,
That won't happen

Because I cracked under the pressure
And I fell asleep

No,
I'm not sleeping beauty
But if you kiss me,
I will wake up
Just to punch you in your junk.

&quot;I&#039;d rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I&#039;m not&quot; <br /> &quot;Somewhere betweeen us talking, you saying I deserve better, and you making me laugh when I wanted to cry, I fell in love with you.&quot;
