Dreamless, May 2006

I was broken.

It’s been a while since you first promised me
You said no matter where I went, there you’d be
You said you’d fight for me, protect me, and defend
And when the twilight came, you promised me that then

You’d sing me to sleep
You said you’d sing me to sleep
You said that I would always keep your heart
You’d sing me to sleep
You said you’d sing me to sleep
And I’m still waiting; have you forgotten

It’s been a long time, I understand
And time breaks the will as distance breaks apart the clutching hands
It was too good to be true, I always knew
Now I just have to forget you

You’d sing me to sleep
You said you’d sing me to sleep
You said that I would always keep your heart
Now I lie awake
Because I can’t seem to forget
And I’m still waiting for you, have you forgotten

It wasn’t always thus but I’m starting to think
The ship that held our hearts afloat was meant to sink
And I am meant to find some steady shore
Upon whose sandy banks I’ll find something more

And I’ll sing myself to sleep
I will sing myself to sleep
Although you may keep my heart
And I won’t lie awake
Cuz I’ve got better things to do
So I’ll sing myself to sleep and forget you
