how can I sleep?

How can I sleep
Knowing you want her?

How can I sleep
When my tears make everything a blur?

How can I sleep
When there's so much pain?

How can I sleep
When your words are replaying in my brain?

I can no longer sleep
You used to make my heart leap
But the leaps were to steep
And I fell to my death
I'll love you with my last breath
But it's her you'd rather caress
So I'll stay up all night
Waiting for it to be all right
Waiting to just see the light
Instead of counting sheep
I count all the promises you didn't keep
My soul they're about to reap....
