Katy Perry "WIDE AWAKE" Lyrics

I'm wide awakeI'm wide awakeI'm wide awakeYeah, I was in the darkI was falling hardWith an open heartI'm wide awakeHow did I read the stars so wrongI'm wide awakeAnd now it's clear to meThat everything you seeAin't always what it seemsI'm wide awakeYeah, I was dreaming for so long[Pre-Chorus]I wish I knew thenWhat I know nowWouldn't dive inWouldn't bow downGravity hurtsYou made it so sweetTill I woke up onOn the concrete[Chorus]Falling from cloud 9Crashing from the highI'm letting go tonight(Yeah I'm) Falling from cloud 9I'm wide awakeNot losing any sleepI picked up every pieceAnd landed on my feetI'm wide awakeNeed nothing to complete myself - nooohoooI'm wide awakeYeah, I am born againOutta the lion's denI don't have to pretendAnd it's too lateThe story's over now, the end[Pre-Chorus]I wish I knew thenWhat I know nowWouldn't dive inWouldn't bow downGravity hurtsYou made it so sweetTill I woke up onOn the concrete[Chorus]Falling from cloud 9Crashing from the highI'm letting go tonight (yeah, I'm letting go)I'm Falling from cloud 9Thunder rumblingCastles crumblingI am trying to hold onGod knows that I triedSeeing the bright sideBut I'm not blind anymore...I'm wide awakeI'm wide awake[Chorus]Yeah, I'm Falling from cloud 9Crashing from the highYou know I'm letting go tonightI'm Falling from cloud 9I'm wide awakeI'm wide awakeI'm wide awakeI'm wide awakeI'm wide awake
