I can't sleep

It's a cold silent night
Yet I'm wide awake
I cried for hours now
In the dim light of the lamp

I just can't keep the facade
It's falling apart
It shatters my heart
I can't pretend I'm okay

What's wrong with me
I can't do anything right
I'm never good enough for you
Until now I kept it quiet
But slowly my face is turning blue

I gasp for air but I can't breathe
I can't give myself away
I can't let you know I'm not okay
But now I'd rather die than live a lie
So don't say another word

Don't pretend you care
Don't say you want me to be fine
Don't say that you were ever mine
Unless you got something in return

Don't you dare
Don't try to say you're sorry
Don't think I'll let it slide again
I can't pretend anymore
That you could make it all go away

That you can make it better
That you won't be like the others
That you won't just use me
Like a toy...

I can't sleep at night
At least not anymore
I'll just turn off the light
And cry on the floor
