“Wake Me Up”
AVICII
Feeling my way through the darkness
Guided by a beating heart
I can’t tell where the journey will end
But I know where to start
Guided by a beating heart
I can’t tell where the journey will end
But I know where to start
They tell me I’m too young to understand
They say I’m caught up in a dream
Well life will pass me by if I don’t open up my eyes
Well that’s fine by me
So wake me up when it’s all over
When I’m wiser and I’m older
All this time I was finding myself
And I didn’t know I was lost
They say I’m caught up in a dream
Well life will pass me by if I don’t open up my eyes
Well that’s fine by me
So wake me up when it’s all over
When I’m wiser and I’m older
All this time I was finding myself
And I didn’t know I was lost
I tried carrying the weight of the world
But I only have two hands
Hope I get the chance to travel the world
But I don’t have any plans
Wish that I could stay forever this young
Not afraid to close my eyes
Life’s a game made for everyone
And love is the prize
So wake me up when it’s all over
When I’m wiser and I’m older
All this time I was finding myself
And I didn’t know I was lost
Didn’t know I was lost
I didn’t know I was lost
I didn’t know I was lost
I didn’t know (didn’t know, didn’t know)
Happiness used to live here...surviving an affair 
Great Blog…9 months into my wife’s devastating affair. Relate to a lot of what your saying…listened to this song a lot through the dark days. She finally woke up and we are now working toward reconciliation thanks to God’s grace and mine. Entertaining writing as well 🙂
Thank you 🙂 I try to be entertaining and not too whiny…prayers to you and your wife, it’s a hard road to travel, and I still struggle every day. Crazy Kelly and her side kicks keep me sanely insane.
After three years of trying to forgive, start over, get past his FIVE affairs I found out about all on one day- the one year anniversary of losing my daddy-i got served with divorce papers. He brought his new girlfriend and three other strangers to ransack the house and shop and loaded up a 20 ft cargo trailer with marital property as soon as our 14 year old son and I were escorted by sheriff deputies from the property. I had chores to do. Our boy was in the middle of a home school day at a new school with a new program. Tell me God is there ready to catch me. I stood beside this man through his crap. I forgave. I believed. I tried. I hauled hay and chored cattle while he was out of town having another affair. He parties. I clean up the puke. I need to know there is a tomorrow. Please pray for my boy and me. Please pray.
God is there to catch you, but sometimes the fall is long before you find his arms. I think in your case it might be less about forgiving him to move on with him, and more about forgiving him so you can move on without hate in your heart for your sons father.
Just from the little bit you said I think he probably belongs on whore island with the rest of the assholes who can’t or won’t be saved 😦
Hugs for you and your son, I’m so sorry you are going through this…
