I'm laying here in bed drifting fast alseep,
Holding on and reviewing every memory I keep.
I think about every little argument we've had.
Every word type spoken the good, happy, and sad.
I drift in and out crying it’s a quarter to ten.
I'm trying to figure out how my heart will mend.
I lay here alone...alone my bed so empty and cold,
Memories haunt me I'm fixed on every lie you told.
Confused...I want to tell you everything is ok,
Call you up and tell you that you can stay.
But as I lay here thinking I know I just can't,
My mind going through a constant rant.
I can't sleep I know you love me but why,
Why would you do this toss and turn and sigh.
I lay here in bed not drifting asleep.
Every memory I wish I couldn't keep.
