Wish I could lay me down to sleep... trouble is.. I just can't keep... this broken heart of mine from missing you... I toss and I turn...and how I try... but I can't get no sleep at night... cause this aching heart of mine is too up tight... I've tried everything from A-Z.. listened to the radio..and watched T.V.... I've read every book...and I counted a million sheep... I have even... walked the floors... till the bottom of my feet.. were blister sore... and I took those pills.. that said..that I'd sleep deep... Don't know what I'm going to do.. can't take much more...of these lonesome blues... can't take much more..of loosing sleep at night... so I'll toss and turn.. and again I'll try... till there's no more tears...in these crying eyes... till this broken heart of mine...gives up the fight... Hope that this is going to be the night.
Reason for writing:
heartbreak makes it easy.. to hate.. being in love...
and it can keep you up all night... counting the reasons.
