I haven't slept
Not once
The exhaustion comes
I want to sleep
I close my eyes
Sleep doesn't come
My mind is running wild
I try to just breathe
Don't think I tell myself
Just breathe
Sleep doesn't come
I lie there for hours
Lie there with my eyes closed
Hoping, praying I can sleep tonight
But sleep just doesn't come

I haven't slept
Not once
The exhaustion comes
I want to sleep
I close my eyes
Sleep doesn't come
My mind is running wild
I try to just breathe
Don't think I tell myself
Just breathe
Sleep doesn't come
I lie there for hours
Lie there with my eyes closed
Hoping, praying I can sleep tonight
But sleep just doesn't come
