Sing me to sleep, lay me to rest
I thought I was trying my best
It was all a sorry excuse
To justify my self abuse
Chalk up my attempts to hide my contempt
It was one step forward but three steps back
Please try to see past what I lack
My inability to apologize, inarticulate, and romanticized
Praise me as more, I'm just a shit poet
Please know I love you, I just haven't shown it
(Chorus x2)
Sink away into the void
While I watch you Cry
Will it matter when I die
If im already dead inside
I'll drink till I'm drunk, Drunk enough to sleep
Lay me down and pray my love you will keep
I need breathing room, I swear I'll be fine
Just leave me alone, I just need some time
I don't want to sleep alone tonight
But it's what I deserve so I just might
I'll still love you tomorrow
My habits just make me so hollow
I'm not too proud to admit you're right
Drown my demons you're alone at night
(Chorus x2)
Problems that followed, strip me of sorrow
Lessons I haven't learned, praises I haven't earned
Could I stand on my own if I was left alone
Dependent on you, loved but confused
I denied and refused, defensive but accused
You've been a shoulder to lean on
But i'll love you till I'm gone (x2)
