I'd like my interpretaion to be checked.

The following is a song called Afraid. I'm trying to translate it into my language but there are some different words in web pages so I'm not sure which word is right. Could you tell me which word makes sense, please? And I need my interpretation to be checked to know they are being ranslated right.

When I wake up I’m afraid, somebody else might take my place
When I wake up I’m afraid, somebody else might take my place

paid(or made?) that money, fake that dummy(or bunny?), ache my tummy
On the fence, all the time
Paint(or paid?) junk(or young?) honey, face so sunny, ain’t that funny
All my friends always lie to me
I know they’re thinking…

>>"On the fence"
Is it mean that "undecided about something"?

You’re too mean, I don’t like you, *** you anyway
You make me wanna scream at the top of my lungs
It hurts but I won’t fight you
You suck anyway
You make me wanna die, right when I…

>>I think this part need to have double quotation marks like "You’re too mean ~ right when I…" Am I right? Or does the first line only need them?

When I wake up I’m afraid, somebody else might take my place (x3)
When I wake up I’m afraid, somebody else might end up being me

Keep on dreaming, don’t stop breathing, fight those demons
Sell your soul, not your whole self
If they see you when you’re sleeping, make them leave it
And I can’t even see if it’s all there anymore so…

>> "it’s all there anymore"
I think this means "it's all possible anymore". But I really don't know what it means.

Being me and only me (or Being me can only mean?)
Feeling scared to breathe
If you leave me then I’ll be afraid of everything
That makes me anxious, gives me patience, calms me down
Lets me face this, let me sleep, and when I wake up
Let me be


>> "I will be afraid of everything that makes me anxious, gives me patience, calms me down
Lets me face this, let me sleep, and when I wake up
Let me be"
My interpretaion:
Everything makes me anxious, gives me patience, calms me down and lets me face this. So let me sleep and let me be when I wake up.

The reason I'm confused with it is because of '-s'. "Let me face this" and "let me sleep" don't have "s" so It is not tied to "Everything". Did I get it right? It makes me confused with comma.

Thank you!
