I know all about self love and respect
I know better than to blame myself for someone else's hurt
but how do I sleep at night knowing if I had been there
a little longer
a little better
maybe none of this would have happened

how do I sleep at night knowing you have given me everything
expecting something in return most likely
but I have absolutely nothing

how do I sleep at night with your sweet sleeping sound in my ear
knowing I'm barely even there with you anymore

how do I sleep at night when I haven't looked you in the eyes for almost two years already
time flies, doesn't it?

your bitter voice rings in my head at night
tell me how do I sleep
when everything comes crashing down at once
and I starting feeling empty again
