Caroline

Too tired to be sleeping

I wake up every night
I wake up every night
And I can’t fall back asleep again
It’s much harder alone

I'm waiting for something to change
But life just stays the same
It’s boring me
To death

Words won't get you anywhere
Just go and get a job
Wasting time on stupid things
Will make you feel bad after long
And I won’t stop thinking about all
This time I've used on you
And the time I’ve wasted
Knowing I knew what to do

Writing things on a page won’t
Make them any more true
Getting tired and opening your mouth won’t make anyone like you
More than I do
Hiding the old wrappers of what I used to be
Your husks are falling off
I can finally set you free from what you were to me
From what you saw in me

Words won't get you anywhere
Just go and get a job
Wasting time on stupid things
Will make you feel bad after long
And I won’t stop thinking about all
This time I've used on you
And the time I’ve wasted pretending I knew what I wanted to do with you
