A
BAD NIGHT’S SLEEP:
© 2000 by Lydia Glider Shelley
Verse 1:
The straw that broke the camel’s back
was laid today
I don’t know why I’m so surprised
when I sold myself another lie and went away
it was harder than I ever realized
Chorus:
Happiness is relative, so is being kind
how can you be peaceful
when you’re losing your mind?
Verse
2:
Leaving home was something I thought I’d never do
and now I see so clearly just why
walking away from all that you
have grown accustomed to
is just as hard as waiting to die
(repeat
chorus)
Bridge:
So I cry...
and I’m not hungry, I’m just sick...
I’m not so strong after all
Verse
3:
Throwing in the towel is just as crazy
maybe I’m just too damned lazy
but I know when to “say when”
and I won’t do it again
even though the future is hazy...
(repeat
chorus) |
