Long Been Asleep

by Samantha Lowe - Scorpio

Pinch me
For I've long been asleep
Having you here in my arms once again
It's like a dream 
And when you pinch me
I'll awaken and be left on my own again
Who are these people crowding around me
Who are these people who call themselves my friends
Since when has everything changed
Since when have my tears been wiped from my face
And a smile put in their place
Tell me that you don't need me by your side
Tell me that you're better off without me
Lie to me
Betray me
Hurt me
As if it meant nothing to you to see me on my knees
Only then will I know that I'm not dreaming
Only when I'm fighting to live will I finally know that I'm wide awake
For I don't deserve your love or friendship
So pinch me
And tell me this is all a dream.
