Sleeping Alone
Embracing Solitude: Unraveling the Depths of 'Sleeping Alone'
Lyrics
I'm tired of the way that things have been
I'm fatigued with the current state of affairs
I'm tired of backing out again
I'm weary of retreating from challenges
She ran her hands all through her hair
She nervously ran her hands through her hair
But you could tell she wasn't there
Despite her physical presence, her mind seemed absent
You know, I thought I'd start a war
I contemplated initiating a conflict
No idea what I'm fighting for
I lack clarity on the purpose of my struggle
But as she disappeared into the night
She vanished into the night
I sat to wait for morning light
I remained, anticipating the arrival of morning
I'll be fine tomorrow
I reassure myself that I will be okay tomorrow
"You'll be fine before for the dawn…"
Someone else consoles, "You'll recover before dawn"
It was more than you bargained for
The situation exceeded your expectations
In the moment...
In that specific instance...
But the night is only so long
The night has its limits
It was all the things we didn't say
Unspoken sentiments and missed conversations
All the walks in the midnight rain
Reflecting on shared moments in the rain
I sit and stare into the black
I gaze into darkness
But it ain't sayin' nothing back
But it offers no response
I'll be fine tomorrow
Assurance of a better day ahead
"You'll be fine before for the dawn…"
Reassurance echoes, "You'll be fine before dawn"
It was more than you bargained for
The experience surpassed what you anticipated
In the moment...
In that fleeting moment...
But the night is only so long
Yet, the night has its limitations
I prayed for eyes like lead
I wished for a heavy, unwavering perspective
A chance to level out my head
A chance to regain mental equilibrium
As sleep took me into the night
As sleep enveloped me
I sat to wait for morning light
I lingered, anticipating the return of daylight
