Sleep My Love: Poetry

Claire (What's My Purpose?) song version

V1:

You remember how small I used to be.

I smiled and clinged to you

as you reached your hand down.

So many years sprinted by,

as so the heartbreaks crawled.

Chorus:

How do you love someone so broken?

Ready to give up when everything was stolen.

With a worn wall crumbling to the floor.

How did you love me for so long?

I will miss you so much,

but I just simply don't belong.

V2:

So many times I believed you

when you said you loved me,

but not now can my heart

live and breathe.

Right now, I can't be the

little girl you always wanted to hold.

Chorus:

How do you love someone so broken?

Ready to give up when everything was stolen.

With a worn wall crumbling to the floor.

How did you love me for so long?

I will miss you so much,

but I just simply can't stand

Bridge:

One more arrow and I will lose it.

One more letter to carry in my pocket.

That one letter, a letter to you

about how sorry I am

for giving up on us.

V3:

I want to let you know that

I still wear your ring and

I hope it gives you purpose.

Because all I feel is empty

and nothing.

Chorus:

How do you love someone so broken?

Ready to give up when everything was stolen.

With a worn wall crumbling to the floor.

How did you love me for so long? 

I will miss you but

How could I be so jaded and so blind?

My mind said I didn't want you,

but my heart said I did.

How did you love me for so long?

You know that I am broken,

and I just simply don't belong... here.

I don't belong,

not here,

not now.

But I still wear your ring.

I hope it still gives you purpose,

because all I feel is empty

and nothing.
