Insomnia

I lay in bed and try to sleep, 
Pray the Lord my soul to keep.
But I fear
A past that haunts me
A future that daunts me 
And I wish you were here, 
To hold me and love me. 
My sorrow takes hold,
And I try to be bold
But 
Why didn’t you love me? 
Why won’t you love me? 
I’m Loveable 
I try so hard to be 
But Nomatter what I do 
Nothings enough for you 
So it’s not enough for me. 
Need you here, need you here so badly
Daddy I just want to go home 
I don’t belong here.
