Oh, how I wish that I could fall asleep But sleep won’t come when loneliness prevails Along with voices of the scars that run so deep And memories too much like living hell Trying to forget the past and all regret But they scream their where although they’re dead and gone The present, like the past, I wish I could forget Lying here alone, the nights are just too long This bed is far too empty, just as I feel inside Despite so much that weighs upon my soul My heart longs for a love that always proves denied Each time I fool myself takes such a toll My dreams become the nightmares in each unrestful hour This broken heart just never seems to mend ‘Til hope that once sustained becomes the monster that devours This love that burns within me will destroy me in the end Won’t you come and lay my broken heart to rest? I’ve tried a thousand times to no avail I’m dying here alone This is my last request Prove to me that love can still prevail I’m sitting here with just myself for company Rewriting words I’ve said too many times Still, they go unanswered as they echo back to me In every word I bleed In every line Professing my emotion is my darkest curse And yet, I find I’ve still so much to say My silence or expression… I don’t know which is worse When these sleepless nights are much too long to make it go away Won’t you come and lay my broken heart to rest? I’ve tried a thousand times to no avail I’m dying here alone This is my last request Prove to me that love can still prevail Won’t you come and lay my broken heart to rest? Speak the words I long to hear you say I’m dying here alone Please grant my last request Prove to me that love will find a way

Lay My Broken Heart to Rest
Oh, how I wish that I could fall asleep But sleep won’t come when loneliness prevails Along with voices of the scars that run so deep And memories too much like living hell Trying to forget the past and all regret But they scream their where although they’re dead and gone The present, like the past, I wish I could forget Lying here alone, the nights are just too long This bed is far too empty, just as I feel inside Despite so much that weighs upon my soul My heart longs for a love that always proves denied Each time I fool myself takes such a toll My dreams become the nightmares in each unrestful hour This broken heart just never seems to mend ‘Til hope that once sustained becomes the monster that devours This love that burns within me will destroy me in the end Won’t you come and lay my broken heart to rest? I’ve tried a thousand times to no avail I’m dying here alone This is my last request Prove to me that love can still prevail I’m sitting here with just myself for company Rewriting words I’ve said too many times Still, they go unanswered as they echo back to me In every word I bleed In every line Professing my emotion is my darkest curse And yet, I find I’ve still so much to say My silence or expression… I don’t know which is worse When these sleepless nights are much too long to make it go away Won’t you come and lay my broken heart to rest?
