Drown

It's almost midnight

But I can't sleep

The sheets are soaking

And there's nothing left to keep

Just broken pieces of this heart

An object once whole

I'll cry some more cause I cry too hard

I always feel alone

Why is it, when you are down

That it is then that you are left to drown

People always say they'll comfort you, but you can't awake

Those sleeping friends and happy faces, because you feel fake

It's almost sunrise

I'm still awake

Tryna clear these tear stains

From of my face

Before you come and realise

I never asked for help

Before you see that I chose to suffer

All by myself

Why is it, when you are down

That it is then that you are left to drown

People always say they'll comfort you, but you can't awake

Those sleeping friends and happy faces, because you feel fake

It's all because I love you, and you I can't harm

This pain is mine and I don't want to pass it on

So leave my to cry

It makes me feel good

When all around me is just being misunderstood

So leave me to cry

It's in my mood

I'll drink these tears and then perhaps I'll prove

Why is it, when you are down

That it is then that you are left to drown

People always say they'll comfort you, but you can't awake

Those sleeping friends and happy faces, because you feel fake

It's all because I love you, and you I can't harm

This pain is mine and I don't want to pass it on

Why is it, when you are down

That it is then that you are left to drown

People always say they'll comfort you, but you can't awake

Those sleeping friends and happy faces, because you feel fake

It's all because I love you, and you I can't harm

This pain is mine and I don't want to pass it on

So right now I am being left to drown




I can't be bothered to put the paragraphs in properly tbh
