You Sleep When I Don't
(Written to a tune)

Here I go again,

Emotions overload and then: no sign of hope again-

I’m broken,

I’m broken.

I fake a smile,

It lasts a little while: I’ve fallen in denial-

I’m broken,

I’m broken.

You sleep when I don’t,

When I’m damaged and broken,

Fighting back all the tears-

I’m choking,

I’m choking.

I muffle the cries

In the pillow at my sides,

I suffocate my life in

These moments,

These moments.

You sleep when I don’t-

When I’m damaged and broken,

On my tears I am choking,

I’m broken,

I’m broken.

You sleep when I don’t-

When we’re damaged and broken,

On these fears I am choking,

We’re broken,

We’re broken.

You sleep when I don’t,

When I can’t,

When I won’t.
