Lyrics
[Verse 1] I close my eyes, and see your face Reaching for you, too far away, to embrace I’m told I can’t heal, without some sleep How do I do it, when the hurt’s too deep [Verse 2] Most of my friends, see who, they think you are In this dysfunctional world, you were my co-star I’m told I can’t heal, without some sleep Here I lay without you, counting sheep [Chorus] Here I lay without you, counting sheep My hurt’s so strong, I cry to sleep You cut me off, and turned away Please hear me, I’ve got so much to say I don’t understand, we had so much love Now I’m left here alone, looking at the stars above Come back to me, saying your name as I weep I’m told I can’t heal, without some sleep [Chorus] Here I lay without you, counting sheep My hurt’s so strong, I cry to sleep You cut me off, and turned away Please hear me, I’ve got so much to say I don’t understand, we had so much love Now I’m left here alone, looking at the stars above Come back to me, saying your name as I weep I’m told I can’t heal, without some sleep [Verse 3] I’m not sure, I can do this alone Despite your flaws, I felt the love shown I’m sinking fast, already knee-deep Come into my dreams, I need you when I sleep I’m struggling…Please know… [Chorus] Here I lay without you, counting sheep My hurt’s so strong, I cry to sleep You cut me off, and turned away Please hear me, I’ve got so much to say I don’t understand, we had so much love Now I’m left here alone, looking at the stars above Come back to me, saying your name as I weep I’m told I can’t heal, without some sleep How do I do it, when the hurt’s too deep Tell me…How do I do it, when the hurt’s so deep…
