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

It was a dream
But I was awake
Alone with these memories
I couldn’t fake
I looked at you
And in your eyes
I never thought
You’d tell me lies
I wore my innocence
My heart on my sleeve
You wore deception
And I wanted to believe
That I felt safe
Away from danger
I thought I knew you
But you were a stranger
You lit me up
And I felt the fire
Then I got burned
By the greed of desire
And in that night
You made your bed
Laid yourself down
And rested your head
I tried the same
But I couldn’t sleep
My devastation played
Again on repeat
I never knew you
Now I must grieve
A loss that only
I perceived

I say it
But do I mean it
Is the question
I feel it
But is it the same way
I express it
I’ve felt pain
But is it the same way
Others feel it
I’ve had sad eyes
But was it real
Or just another white lie
I’ve been asleep
Or was I really
Just another performance
I’ve read things
But could you possibly read it
The same way I did
I see you
But are you what I want
Or what I need
And all I see
All I read
All I feel
All I fake
What I think
It all makes no sense
And once again I’m lost
I absorb all I can
I contradict myself
I see things that aren’t real
Or was it just what I didn’t want to see
And to hear my thoughts
You wouldn’t understand
And to feel my pain
It’s just too fake
And to look into my eyes
And further to what’s not real
Would you even see me
Would you understand me
You wouldn’t be able to take it in
No one understands
No one even tries
To feel the fake
To feel the lies
To see my world
Behind my eyes
