I can’t sleep. You’re lying next to me radiating heat and breathing so sweet, but I can’t sleep. I can’t turn off the light; can’t give up the fight; can’t forgive tonight. All the words I said re-run in my head – the torture of regret in my bed. I can’t sleep. I’m in a different world – a very different girl, straightening my curls. I can’t sleep. I wish I was right, but I see the light. How long is this night? All the words I said re-run in my head – the torture of regret in my bed. Over and over, I turn these thoughts, these ideas of should. Wond’ring if we’ll ever learn what we have is as good. Hoping and waiting on dreams that will never be or so it would seem. I’m so tired but I can’t sleep. I can’t sleep. I can’t sleep. All the words I said re-run in my head – the torture of regret in my bed, in my bed, in my bed. All the words I said re-run in my head – the torture of regret in my bed. There you dream; the picture of peace; wordless whispering; let the battle be. And all the words I said, they’re melting from my head. I start to forget.
