The sheets are restless
around my feet.
my pillow has taken all the frustration
of not knowing where to go
and still,
I can stand, I can take
all the hurt
I'll be broken later
tonight.
words rake across my skin,
my head is beating with reasons...
tears don't grace my face
I don't want you
to see,
because I can stand, I can take
all the hurt
and I’ll be broken later
so you won't see tonight.
my sanity is wavering in the stillness,
my heart is standing on shifting ground...
the world turns me upside down
and all I can do is fall...
I can't stand, I can't take
another hurt,
it's too late
tonight.
the stars go on forever,
shadows wrap the moon in imperfection
it's cold tonight,
it's hard tonight...
but I’ll keep standing; I'll take a little more
heartache,
because being broken
is all I have tonight.
