I TOLD YOU I’D BE ASLEEP BY FOUR,
BUT MY THOUGHTS HAVE SHAKEN ME TO THE CORE.
I’M SORRY BUT LATELY I HAVENT BEEN ALRIGHT
AND UNFORTUNATELY THINGS GET WORSE AT NIGHT.
IT’S AT THIS TIME I FEEL SO ALONE
AND MY ONLY ESCAPE IS BEING ON MY PHONE.
THAT MEANS NO SLEEP FOR ME
MY BRAIN WON’T ALLOW IT, DON’T YOU SEE?

MY BRAIN IS SO LOUD, IT WON’T STOP SCREAMING.
I MESSED UP TODAY, SO IT’LL KEEP ME FROM DREAMING.
“YOU ATE TOO MUCH TODAY,” IT SAID,
NOW YOU MUST SUFFER WHILE YOU LAY IN BED.

THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN EVERY NIGHT,
AND HONESTLY IT GIVES ME QUITE A FRIGHT.
I’M TIRED, I MUST BE TRUE,
I WANT THIS TO STOP BUT I HAVE NO CLUE.
IT’S MORE THAN JUST BEING SAD,
I HAVE SO MANY THOUGHTS AND THEY’RE ALL BAD.
I WISH IT COULD ALL JUST STOP ONE DAY,
BUT RIGHT NOW THE DEMONS HAVE A LOT TO SAY.

HOW COULD YOU EVER FALL FOR SOMEONE LIKE ME?
YOU’LL END UP LEAVING TOO, JUST YOU WAIT AND SEE.
