Last night was different
I didn't have to sleep with a heart so heavy
And think my fate so unsteady
Because I could barely find a reason
To call this phase, only a bad seasonLast night was different
I didn't have to gaze at the sky
Counting thousand stars so high
Wondering when my pain would fade away
Or if there'll ever be a way
I could have a happy dayLast night was different
I didn't have to toss and turn until all my sides ached
I hadn't read a book so boring it pained Until sleep finally came to me, dragged me to her cave
And made me her slaveLast night was different
I didn't have to shut out the world and her noise
By burying myself deep in my pillows
Dragging over my head all the covers
Until my bed became so bare
I could at it, hardly stareLast night was different
I hadn't wandered deep into my mind
Until I lost myself in my thoughts
And could find my way no more
Scared greatly by what I sawLast night was different
I wasn't forced to stare at the television screen
Or inwardly create my own scene
To get away from all the fake
They made display for fame's sakeLast night was different
I didn't have to pretend I had an interest
In the issues they described brilliant
My understanding of them so distant
I could swear we were worlds apartLast night was really different
Wait, I'll tell you why
Just promise you're not a spy
And then you'll hear it allHow different you ask?
For once I felt I was okay
And I wasn't expected to change
And pretend I was a tweedy lady
For once it didn't have to make sense
And I never felt not so tenseLast night was indeed different
Am I greedy?
I want to feel same tonightLast night was very different
Because I slept by your sideFor you, reader
