Sleep Must Heal the Heart

I find out answers

When I don't ask

While I stand here

With a visit from my past

I didn't invite you

I asked you very kindly

To leave when I wanted you

Please do not remind me

It was me that said

Please do not go

You don't know you can't stay

I can't sleep

When you're gone

Did you know

I only lie awake

Til mornin'

I consented to walk

What's the harm in a stroll

A couple of blocks

Couldn't take a toll

I consented to talk

What's the harm in catching up

It's been twelve blocks and back

I'll never have enough

It's me that says

Please do not go

You don't know you can't stay

I can't sleep

When you're gone

Did you know

I only lie awake

You said what's the harm in trying

I say, what's the use when you know all along

You always said, each day's a new start

You must sleep well

Sleeping must heal the heart

Please do not go

You don't know you can't stay

I don't sleep

When you're gone

When you're gone

I lie awake

Please do not go

You don't know you can't stay

I don't sleep

When you're gone

Did you know

I only lie awake

Til mornin'
