2am
The night is long and lonely when it's just myself and I
Sleep has gone travelling without even a goodbye
Eyes shut but they're roaming the depths of my mind
For all the thoughts and feelings you left behind
There's a sunrise and a sunset at every last turn
The image of your blue eyes continues to burn
Searching for something to show me it's all real
You are coming back though, that was the deal
You've fallen again and you're falling right down
I feel you in my stomach, I won't let you drown
I find myself losing you like I do now and then
The day or eve nightmare over and over again
I'm wandering along to a sweet memory or two
Waking me once again and pulling me through
I've learnt that a broken heart continues to beat
And I won't let this shattering bring me down from my feet
This maze of twists and turns will finally end
You'll be back home with me, never to reoffend
Done with the past, only our future to explore
And maybe even sleep will be my friend once more
