Cry Myself to Sleep

Should have gone with my first impression

That you weren't the guy for me,

But now I'm caught up in this mess

And I only want to be free.

 

You're nice, you're sweet, you're funny;

But your temper is a bear;

Oblivious to what goes on around you--

You're far too much like me.

 

And me, I'm far too trusting;

Gullible, to say the least.

I'm impulsive, and I don't listen

Or pay attention to my surroundings.

 

And I can't be like my mother;

Pursuing you for your attention.

So I'll step back, let life work itself out

And cry myself to sleep.

 

I know I need to let you go;

You're not the guy for me.

But I don't know how to let

My aching soul

Cry itself to sleep.
