night

it’s not me, I can tell
the world falls down while you sleep
I can’t reach out to you
there’s nothing I can do 

waking nightmare, you won’t speak
I don’t know what it is you need
we are trapped in this house
there’s nothing I can do

and if you leave me 
I won’t complain
it doesn’t feel like
we’ve been together in months

and if you need me
then I’ll be by your side
until the dawn breaks
and you open your eyes

I sit next to you (x8)

you lie there like I’m nobody special (x4)

can’t you tell I’m here
say anything

I’ve got nothing left

I’m waking up 
in a sweat
I can’t hold the tears back

I look at your face
asking myself
should I wake you from your sleep 

and let it all out
my fears and my doubts
I decide to wait until morning

as I drift off to sleep
the voice in my head 
bites at me 

but when I wake up
and see the bright sun
