Broken

Midnight Insomnia

You’ve got me refreshing and hoping, but every time I’m let down with the disappointment of the fact nothing has changed since the last time I checked. I’m wondering what I should do, I don’t want to be a bother, but it’s all that’s been on my mind since I carelessly did something right for a change. I can’t let it go, you’ve got me so confused, and I’m thinking I’m hiding this pretty well, but it shows more than anyone is willing to look for. The words keep repeating in my head, and when I want to say them I’m given no opportunity, for the fact you’ve been too busy to exchange conversation with me lately. My closed eyes will tell you anything that you’re willing to hear, with no doubt, brave and standing tall, nothing in the world could take me down. My eyes slowly open, I start to see, and I crumble again because once I see you I can’t stand to know that I was too scared to tell you how I really felt for the fact I was too scared of being broken again.

I Will Fall Asleep At Night

Have you ever been confused
And been told that it’s alright
But you know that it’s not
Cause it keeps you up at night

Have you ever looked in the mirror
Not knowing who you were
And every one that mattered
Just made you more unsure

[Chorus:]
Looking in the mirror
What’s wrong with my eyes
Hard to imagine
I broke down to cry
I thought I was stronger
Just like you thought you were right
And once you’re gone
I will fall asleep at night

Did it even matter
I let you close to me
It was hard at first
But then I told you everything

You saw me when I was weak
Didn’t bother to make me strong
And you put me down again
To prove you’re the one who’s wrong

[Chorus:]
Looking in the mirror
What’s wrong with my eyes
Hard to imagine
I broke down to cry
I thought I was stronger
Just like you thought you were right
And once you’re gone
I will fall asleep at night

I can’t stand you at all
I could never stand your lies
So I didn’t even care
Every time I saw you cry

I won’t give you more attention
I’ve given you enough
And as weak as I was
You’re the one who made me tough

[Chorus:]
Looking in the mirror
What’s wrong with my eyes
Hard to imagine
I broke down to cry
I thought I was stronger
Just like you thought you were right
And once you’re gone
I will fall asleep at night

Go

When I first met you
You’d take me on long drives
But your car became your escape
Now we’re living different lives

When I first met you
I loved all that you are
But the only thing you loved
Was the comfort of your car

[Chorus:]
All you do is go (go)
It’s tearing me apart
I’m keeping it together
When I have a broken heart
All you do is leave (leave)
Again you steer away
Even without words
You knew I wanted you to stay

Even at this time
I still want you to care
I don’t know who I am fooling
Because you were never there

Even at this time
I wonder how you are
The only sign you give
Is when you take off in your car

[Chorus:]
All you do is go (go)
Your car was our department
I’m keeping it together
And I’m ready to jump start
All you do is leave (leave)
Again on the freeway
Even without words
I know you’ll regret this someday

All you do is run (run)
You don’t know how to stay
I’m worth more than a car
It’s my turn to drive away

Note: I must have written that chorus months ago without ever physically writing it down. I couldn’t decide how I wanted it to go, so each time is a new verse. I don’t usually write songs, but I attempt every once in awhile!
