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
