7. why i can't sleep

goodbye cruel world

you knew i tried to save you

goodbye cool girl

please keep all that i gave you

you got the better of me

but i kept all the best

your eyes not wetter for me

but mine also never wept

i learned a lot

during those restless nights

i turned and tossed

but still slept in time

would that my heart break

a thousand times for yours to mend

split by thorns too great

while yours can't even bend

all those notes

that i barely dared

i'd have a sore throat

if i cared to share

i will never write any more songs

you people can pretend for yourselves

i will never right any more wrongs

you people can defend for yourselves

i tried to convince you

to realize hope is endless

but i could not unclench you

now i feel so transcended

past petty clicks of dislikes

past tasteless cover judges

past gadget upgrade skin types

and clinging to other grudges

past mending a wreckage

that two hands could not clean up

past sending a message

that no one will ever read of

past living for love

and dying when nothing is returned

past giving enough

to not want something in return

past unforgiving myself

past self-imposing obstacles

past unsure living myself

past all things once impossible

goodbye cool girl

you know i tried to save you

goodbye cruel world

please cherish all that i gave you
