Sleepless Night
i lie here
but never can i sleep
thoughts of u haunt me in my dreams
i find ways to make it easier to forget u
but u still remain in my soul
this is not fair
why am i the one left to bleed
why must i cut myself open to release u
ashes to ashes and dust to dust
but im the only one who got burned
i dont understand why i cant heal from this
hearts mend so slow
never again will i fall for this
guard myself from the world
surround myself with safe faces
but they seem to drift away
not knowing why or were things went wrong
still tears me apart
if u wanted me to think it was my fault
u did your job
i try to stay away from u
but i find myself staring right at u
endless lies ive tried to fool myself
hell maybe they're true
all i kno is u dont think of me
so why i cant forget you
