Rest easy

Can we see the stars one more time

Can I feel your hand in mine

Brush your hair behind your ear

Wipe your cheek to get rid of the tears

I’m holding my breath in the life we live

It’s getting harder to move and harder to give

I want to keep the smile on my face

But you make it hard to stay the same

I can still remember the thoughts I’ve seen

To grip the steering wheel and pull it off the street

Still more thoughts clouding my mind

Like the rope wrapped around my neck... one more time

The wrong questions are being asked nowadays

How can I go on?

Will that fall kill me?

How long can I hold my breath?

I know these aren’t the words I should say

To be alone is to feel nothing at all

No more feeling my daughter crawl

Waking up in the middle of the night without sleep

Staring at the pink pacifier lying next to me where she would be

The empty bed still feels like home

This is how it’s been all along

I’ve wasted so many days doing nothing at all

Coming home to sleep and dream of my fall

When I wake up it’s like everything is dull

There’s not a word to describe it except null

One more dance, one more kiss, one more time to hold you close to me

Call me honey, call me your sweet boy, call me when you cry

Hate is too strong of a word for everything that’s been done

I am weak at my knees and yet I still admit you were the one

Take the hot water, let’s fall asleep at 6:00 when I get home

Anything to avoid the argument that would leave me alone

Dark ceilings, loud music, this is what goes on in my life

Cold liquor, no sleep, wonder what’s on the agenda tonight

The sandman pounds my eyes with his magical sand

If you can get me to sleep I hope the next day you can again

I didn’t look for anything and then I found you

It made sense to me and finally I had a clue

Love isn’t blind you can find it if you try

Love isn’t hard you can keep it.. your whole life
