Earnest Sleep

These are lyrics to a song soon to be released on my solo album. Have a read and let me know what you think.

I woke up to the sun today,

I guess I'm not used to closing the shades,

cause she always made sure I always slept safe,

but now I lay awake for days, but that doesn't matter anyway.

 

I shut myself alone again,

I guess I'm afraid to let anyone in,

cause she was mine and I was hers, I thought,

but things fall away all too fast, but nothing happy can ever last.

 

She always knew how to keep me calm,

she made me coffee to soothe my qualms,

and when I'd disappear for days,

shed stay awake till I came back, to make sure I was safe.

 

I woke up again last night,

afraid that he might lose his mind,

he was always oh, so sad and shy,

and I guess that's why I said goodbye, my love I though it was right.

 

You called me, I didn't pick up,

I haven't heard your voice since then,

in your message you said so long,

and ever since then you lost your phone, and I cant tell you I was wrong.

 

He always made me smile wide,

he played me songs to heal my mind,

and I left him cause I was scared,

I stopped by yesterday to hold him again, but he wasn't there.

 

we haven't talked since last may,

I fell apart, I ran out of words to say.

 

One year to the day,

I finally saw him yesterday,

leaving flowers where he laid,

I wish I was there to keep him safe.
