How can I fall asleep
when every voice in my head
sounds like your laughter?
How can I fall asleep
when every image in my mind
is a picture of you?
How can I fall asleep
when my skin still longs for your touch,
yet you are no longer there
to hold me?
"Please stay. Don’t leave.
You're not going anywhere."
My heart is screaming,
but you are too far away to hear it.
How can I fall in love
when the person I want
is not you?

How can I fall asleep
when every voice in my head
sounds like your laughter?
How can I fall asleep
when every image in my mind
is a picture of you?
How can I fall asleep
when my skin still longs for your touch,
yet you are no longer there
to hold me?
"Please stay. Don’t leave.
You're not going anywhere."
My heart is screaming,
but you are too far away to hear it.
How can I fall in love
when the person I want
is not you?
