Imaginemore - I Wish I Could Sleep

I can't fall asleep
Just don't like what I see in my dreams
I'd rather sit and think of sad things
So what's the point of getting no sleep
I stay by myself
It's just the way I've learned to live life
Laugh when I'm hurt but say I'm alright
So what's the point of having friends right?
I wish I could sleep
I wish I could sleep
Get lost in my dreams
Following my dreams
Follow my dreams
I wish I could sleep
I wish I could sleep
Get lost in my dreams
Following my dreams
Follow my dreams
I didn't think about the future much
Till' I started getting older
Felt more weight over my shoulders
Till' thinking became a time crutch
I didn't think about my mom much
And what it would be like
If she was part of my life
Sometimes I wish we could just have lunch
Tell her everything that she missed
But then I think about
Why my mom is never around
My eyes swell heart drops
Then I hit my fist on the ground yeah
Had a talk back
Dealing with my old self yeah
Cleaned off some my old shelves
Now I've got a moment we should talk
'Cause I've been thinking quite a lot
About some things that have been keeping me from
Sleeping on and off
I'm going off with it but I won't quit it
'Cause if I can't be myself in my own music
Then the music is just music
Then these lyrics could never start up a movement
I wish I could sleep
I wish I could sleep
Get lost in my dreams
Following my dreams
Follow my dreams
I wish I could sleep
I wish I could sleep
Get lost in my dreams
Following my dreams
Follow my dreams
I can't help but to think about all the things that you said
The way you twisted my thoughts
And got inside my head
Made me feel like a villain
While you just played up the victim yeah
Like I was lookin at my life through a prism
I felt so angry inside
I would hit my walls till' my hands would bleed
I answered you're calls
'Cause I still thought that you cared for me
It took so many nights of my crying
To feel the pain had gone
But I still play you're song
Thinking maybe I was wrong
I know that I was never perfect
I've always felt I wasn't good enough
And I deserved it
When people tell me they'll be there for me
Is when I start to really worry
That's when the times go by and things get blurry
'Cause every time you let someone get close to you
They always leave you cursing
Guess I'm a victim of my own deserting
Yeah
And now I'm learning
Why there is no one there to comfort me
When I am hurting
I wish I could sleep
I wish I could sleep
Get lost in my dreams
Following my dreams
Follow my dreams
I wish I could sleep
I wish I could sleep
Get lost in my dreams
Following my dreams
Follow my dreams
I think what my life would be like
As someone else
But that's another story
Might be another hell
But I am grateful though
I've got a family who has spent the time to watch me grow
Might have to take some notes
Maybe for when
I have kids of my own
But I'm just using my music
To do some self reflection
Maybe who knows
My music has the potential
To send a greater message
