They say the ones that can not sleep at night is because someone has them on their mind
Maybe that explains why my eyes won’t sleep
Maybe there’s a reason why a sinking feeling seeps into my stomach when your face flashes in my head for a brief second
I can’t stomach it for too long
Or maybe it’s all just a lie
A lie to make people feel better when they have someone else on their minds
I wouldn’t know
I don’t care to anymore
I’m tired
Physically, emotionally & mentally drained
I deserve at least some decent shut eye since you have been away
Maybe it’s all my fault though
If that saying could be true
Maybe I’m the one keeping you up with my obsessive thoughts about you
