just until I sleep

17 3 5
                                    

She cries alone

In the back of her car

She wants to run

But she doesn't go far

She isn't sure

What keeps her near

Is it hope

Or is it fear

What makes her hold on so tight

What keeps her ready to fight

Is she still wondering

If something is there

Something real

Someone to care

Someone that will just hold her tight

Show her the reason

She continued to fight

Most days

She just wants to lay down

Give in to it all

Go dance in the clouds

Not sure if she even has the fight

To just hold on until everything is right

What she wouldn't give

Just to feel someone's touch

To calm her fears

But there's no such luck

Starting at young

But now she's grown

Yet still feels like a girl inside

Screaming for help

Wanting to hide

Can you help me please

Put my fears at ease

Just let me stay

I'm only arms reach away

So I don't feel so alone

It's starting to feel cold

I don't like being by myself

Or just stuck up on a shelf

Will you please just hold me

Just until I sleep

You don't have to love me

I know I'm not one to keep

But please

Just chase off these feelings

Just for a minute

I need a break from them

Before I get lost in it

I don't want to suffer in silence

I just need an escape

Just please help me find somewhere

Let me get out of this space

It's so empty in here

I just don't want to stay

I can't handle feeling this hurt

Please just give me a break

Just for today

Will you please just hold me

Just until I sleep

You don't have to love me

I know I'm not one to keep
