Sleep

Lie down with me one more time
I'm not okay and I'm not fine
I miss the feel of your body on mine
I miss my hands running down your spine

Love has fooled me again
And this time it's far worse than it's ever been
Four hours feel like years
Red eyes, soaked in tears
With red eyes I swallow my pride
I kiss you softly goodbye

Laid with you once now I'll lay you to rest
The best I can in your bloody, white dress
I never pictured this in my head
I see the white as it fades into red
I see you lying so I rest my head
Upon your body that's cold and dead

Too blind to see through what would happen next
Too distracted by the fix to understand the debt
Oh my god I'm my own disaster
Breathing in, choking on the pain that I've studied
In length but I never thought I'd feel it's sting
There's no hiding my sins
No vision to peace and death
There's no holding this in
Eternal regret

Laid with you once now I'll lay you to rest
The best I can in your bloody, white dress
I never pictured this in my head
I see the white as it fades into red
I see you lying so I rest my head
Upon your body that's cold and dead

My hands, they tremble as they wipe off the blood
That has dried to the surface of your cold, white flesh
I want to close my eyes and put you to rest
But the guilt that's on my conscience is stained
All over your dress
Withdraw my misery
From all the pain and sorrow all of this is causing me
I won't forget you
I loved you once and I love you still
I always have and I always will

Laid with you once now I'll rest my head
Upon the surface of where you have bled
I loved you once and I love you still
I always have and I always will
Laid with you once now I'll rest my head
Upon your body that's cold and dead

Laid with you once now I'll lay you to rest
The best I can in your bloody, white dress
I never pictured this in my head
I see the white as it fades into red
I see you lying so I rest my head
Upon your body that's cold and dead
