All my friends tell me I should move on
I'm lying in the ocean, singing your song
Ah, that's how you sing it
Loving you forever, can't be wrong
Even though you're not here, won't move on
Ah, that's how we played it

And there's no remedy for memory
Your face is like a melody
It won't leave my head
Your soul is haunting me
And telling me that everything is fine
But I wish I was dead (dead, like you)

Every time I close my eyes
It's like a dark paradise
No one compares to you
I'm scared that you won't be waiting on the other side
Every time I close my eyes
It's like a dark paradise
No one compares to you
I'm scared that you won't be waiting on the other side

All my friends ask me why I stay strong
Tell 'em when you find true love it lives on
Ah, that's why I stay here

And there's no remedy for memory
Your face is like a melody
It won't leave my head
Your soul is haunting me
And telling me that everything is fine
But I wish I was dead (dead, like you)

Every time I close my eyes
It's like a dark paradise
No one compares to you
I'm scared that you won't be waiting on the other side
Every time I close my eyes
It's like a dark paradise
No one compares to you
But there's no you, except in my dreams tonight

Oh-oh-oh-oh, ha-ha-ha-ha
I don't wanna wake up from this tonight
Oh-oh-oh-oh, ha-ha-ha-ha
I don't wanna wake up from this tonight

There's no relief, I see you in my sleep
And everybody's rushing me, but I can feel you touching me
There's no release, I feel you in my dreams
Telling me I'm fine

Every time I close my eyes
It's like a dark paradise
No one compares to you
I'm scared that you won't be waiting on the other side (so tell me)
Every time I close my eyes
It's like a dark paradise
No one compares to you
But there's no you, except in my dreams tonight

Oh-oh-oh-oh, ha-ha-ha-ha
I don't wanna wake up from this tonight
Oh-oh-oh-oh, ha-ha-ha-ha
I don't wanna wake up from this tonight

    Hey guys I have the lyrics exactly as everyone is saying them and yet for some reason Songmeanings has changed them and won't let me put them back... My old lyrics are still in there but for some reason they've been overwritten by SM, this happened with a few other tracks, anyone know why? Sorry I really wish the right lyrics could be up there but here's what I had before they changed them:

    All my friends tell me I should move on I'm lying in the ocean singing your song That's how you sang it

    Loving you forever can't be wrong Even though you're not here, wont move on That's how we played it

    And theres no remedy for memory Your face is like a melody It won't leave my head Your soul is haunting me and telling that everything is fine But I wish i was dead

    Every time I close my eyes It's like a dark paradise No one compares to you I'm scared that you won't be waiting on the other side

    All my friends ask me why I stay strong Tell em when you find true love it lives on Thats why I stay here

    And theres no remedy for memory Your face is like a melody It won't leave my head Your soul is haunting me and telling that everything is fine But I wish i was dead

    Every time I close my eyes It's like a dark paradise No one compares to you I'm scared that you won't be waiting on the other side Every time I close my eyes It's like a dark paradise No one compares to you But there's no you except in my dreams tonight

    I don't wanna wake up from this tonight I don't wanna wake up from this tonight

    There's no relief, I see you sleep And everybody's rushing but i can feel you touching me There's no release, I feel you in my dreams Telling me I'm fine

    Every time I close my eyes It's like a dark paradise No one compares to you I'm scared that you won't be waiting on the other side Every time I close my eyes It's like a dark paradise No one compares to you But there's no you except in my dreams tonight

    I don't wanna wake up from this tonight I don't wanna wake up from this tonight
