i'll sleep with you tonight
so i can try to find
some extra time
to buy myself
an extra life
so i can make you feel alive.
so i can bring you back to life.

i go to sleep at half past nine
so you find me asleep just fine
like you have at least every other night
since our last fight

i'll try to make my best amends.
i'll try and try and try again.
until you can finally find the lies
that you were living in

when you finally saw through to me
i swore that i could cross the sea.
but i never saw it truthfully.
i told you that i'd be just fine
when i felt like i would die
i told you that i'd be alright
so i could comfort you at night
so alongside you, i could lie
for the rest of my life.

i slept with you every night
just so you could try to fight
and live to see the burning light
of the rising sun at its height

i'll sleep with you again tonight
like we did, before you died.

i'll sleep with you every night
and try to find some peace of mind
i'll miss you every single night.
until the night that i can find
myself laying by your side.
until the night i finally die.

p.s. i loved you, at least a little
