If we go
Journey into the unknown
You think this will work for sure?
Let me go, let me go.
Let me….

Lights low
Cash flow
Throwing
Up in the air
Like I don’t care if I’m sober.
I know all the strippers by their real names.
And I can’t complain.
My mom would be ashamed.
Let the liquor
Hit me,
Take all my pain.
Leave me numb and weightless,
But I feel the same.
As my phone rings, you text me,
“Baby come home.”
I won’t be what you need me,
So leave me alone.
Let me sleep.
Let me sleep.
I just can’t be what you need.
So just leave me be.
Just let me sleep.

Car keys
Cold night
Driving
Alone with my memories
Staring into my life.
As I look in the mirrors
I see my fears.
I guess I’m not so alone now,
They travel with me.
As I stumble,
Doorway,
Welcome the dark.
Flick the light on,
And you’re waiting for me.
You hug me, and tell me,
“I’ll be right here.
See I know that you’re hurting
But I’m always here.
You need sleep.”

I need sleep.
I just don’t know…
Don’t let me go…
