It's not that I don't want to sleep
I just don't want to wake up again
Because I might not find peace in sleep
But in waking I find only pain

Even dreams that should be nice
Where I am holding you hand and seeing you smile
Make me want to break down and cry
I don't have you any more and I haven't for a while

Oh sure the dreams can be pleasant
as we hang out and do the things that we do
but all dreams must end, all sleepers must wake
and I must remember that I lost you

Right now I would welcome nightmares
of monsters, death and unbearable pain
because every time I wake with a smile
reality hits me again...
