Tired

People always tell me that the tiredness will go away with a lot of sleep and the right date

Eight hour nights have become imaginary bliss when my eyelids are clouded by your image

I told myself that I wouldn't date because you put your hands up my shirt in a bathroom one afternoon

That didn't let me sleep

Who is to say a boy would allow that type of peace

The closest I've come to sleep was when you tried to teach me to dance

I couldn't help but laugh when you taught me to turn during a waltz

Dancing is never a dying girl's forte

This tiredness has yet to go away and I'm running out of options

Old methods of waking are failing me in a way you never have

Tiredness comes from my lack of loving you the way I want to

Your hand on my leg would always bring a nice about of rest

Sitting outside for lunch is easier for you when the circumstances call for ignoring it all

 

AND ACCORDING TO THEM, YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO TOUCH ME ANYMORE SO WE HAVE TO HIDE IT AWAY AND THIS IS STARTING TO FEEL LIKE I'M JUST A PASSING PHASE AND I WANT TO BE MORE THAN JUST A NOTCH IN YOUR BEST POST BECAUSE YOU ARE MUCH MORE THAN A LINE IN A SONG AND THAT'S SAYING A LOT FOR A WRITER LIKE ME.

 

Apologizing is becoming a strong suit of mine

"Sorry"s keep spilling from my mouth because I want you

I'm sorry I let the tiredness eat me away a year ago

I'm sorry I want it to consume me now

I'm sorry for loving you the way I do

I'm sorry for being so tired.

 

But, darling.

I'm.

Just.

Tired.
