Sleep Must Heal The Heart

I find out answers
When I don't ask
While I stand here
With a visit form my past

I didn't invite you
I asked you very kindly
To leave when I wanted you
Please do not remind me
It was me that said

Please do not go
You don't know you can't stay
I can't sleep when you're gone
Did you know I only lie awake
Till morning

I consented to walk
What's the harm in a stroll
A couple of blocks
Couldn't take a toll

I consented to talk
What's the harm in catching up
It's been twelve blocks and back
I'll never have enough
It's me that says

Please do not go
You don't know you can't stay
I can't sleep when you're gone
Did you know I only lie awake

You said 'what's the harm in trying'
I say 'what's the use when you know all along'
You always said 'each day's a new start'
You must sleep well, sleeping must heal the heart

Please do not go
You don't know you can't stay
I don't sleep when you're gone
I lie awake

Please do not go
You don't know you can't stay
I don't sleep when you're gone
Did you know I only lie awake
Till morning
