Silently I lie awake
Trapped inside my bed
Counting sheep oh 1, 2, 3
I wish this just would end
But it's not the time
No it's not the time to sleep
But when I close my eyes
I can't help but think
If you could see
That we were meant to be
I wouldn't have to sleep alone
And if I could speak
These words that my heart weep
You wouldn't have to be alone
So just let my heart be your home
This has gone on for too long
I can't recall when it started
People come and people go
It's something I have grown to know
But I won't accept this
No I won't accept this fate
Of living a life with no purpose only shame
If you could see
That we were meant to be
I wouldn't have to sleep alone
And if I could speak
These words that my heart weep
You wouldn't have to be alone
So just let my heart be your home
And I can't replace this feeling in my heart
It's always been there right from the start
It's roots are deep within my soul
A love that many will never know
