Your Insomnia

Counting all the hours you spend thinking in your bed.
What could be causing your insomnia?
I would not think again if you could lend a helping hand.
But don’t you know it must come from yourself?
Straight from your heart.
Try to look at the light you cannot see.
I know it's right in front of you.
And tell me what it is you want to be.
Then I’ll make you forget the fears you have.
Struggling through the night, in your bed.
You feel weary, in urgent need of sleep.
You just can’t go on.
Cannot leave behind what's in your head.
All the things you thought you knew,
suddenly end up in the wrong place.
Hold on.
Counting all the days that I spend worrying about you.
What could be causing your sick state of mind?
It’s not that I mind worrying.
It’s not that I don’t care.
But don’t you feel my love is true?
That it comes straight from my heart?
Don’t give up, start again, open up, live.

I said go.
You’ll tear it all apart right now.
Yes I said go.
There must be something I can do somehow.
Just hope I only get my heart broken once.
Or should I go?
Just leave it all behind right now.
Yes I should go.
Or I’ll do something I’ll regret somehow.
Just hope I only get your heart broken once.
This is for the things you did I tried to stop somehow.
And this is for the love you gave that didn’t last till now.
So there is nothing left to do.
Just sit back, enjoy the ride.
Or maybe sing this melody with stupid lyrics.
I cannot write.
Like “I’d love to love you, need to need you”.

Why did I not foresee this?
The thing you tried to show me, that I missed.
And now the sky has turned black.
Because I failed to decode signs that you gave.
And now we are at war and there’s nothing left but dying.
So point all your guns at me and just let go.
So wrong I never got a chance.
Why now?
We were just getting there.
You lied and you’ve betrayed my trust.
Just stop and take or leave it.
So everything you meant to me has partly been a lie.
Now I don’t know how to react because I’ve been living this lie for too long.
And I’m breaking down.
Why can’t you just believe that it would be better not to choose to do this?
(‘cause it will break us down, and I’m scared of it)
I hope we’ll make it through this and that the sun will shine on us once again.
(‘cause it will break us down, and I’m scared of it)
Dark clouds and thunder still dominate the air above our head.
The storm can make the clouds drift.
Give sweet temptation to think that we’re at rest.
But we are still at war and there’s nothing left but dying.
So point all your guns at me and just let go.
We’ll never be aligned again like the Pluto, Saturn and Mars.
We’ll never be.
These desperate measures ask for bigger guns.
I always will remember those times we shared and all of the fun.
But now we’re shooting guns at each other and casualties are on both sides.
It’s so wrong.
