last night
when i closed my eyes
for hours i lied awake
without a word I could say
its just easier
to lie
by your side..
tonight,
I'm so in love with you
I'm glad I didn't say
all those terrible things
(I mean) It's a tragedy,
a catastrophe,
pure blasphemy,
a mess indeed.
if they ask about me
tell them I sleep fine.
and if they ask about you,
i'll tell them that you spend every night
by my side.
I know
this seems hard for you to take
but there's an added weight
just by you being here
and when you're not here
there's still a weight,
there's still a wake
I'm still awake...
so if they ask about me
tell them I sleep fine.
and if they ask about you,
i'll tell them that you spend every night
by my side.
