Christian Tayar - Nightmares

You're crying again
I wipe your tears with the back of my hand
I've been hiding my own for the last few weeks now
And if you mean to leave
I wish that you would just say anything to me
Give me something that I can work with
I'm having my nightmares again
And I thought they had come to an end
Yeah here I thought that you'd be the one that would save me

But I'm sleeping more and I'm eating less
Because asleep's where I'm safe an I'm losing the weight I've gained
Since we first hooked up
When things were okay
Before you'd had enough of whatever it is that's driving you away
Darling what have I got to do
What have I got to say
To make you love me again

I cut myself shaving
Watched the blood well up and then roll down my chin
For a second I didn't notice
Then a thought crossed my mind
If I let the blood flow from my wrist in a vertical line
In the end it really is that easy
But I can't because I lack the strength
Maybe I lack the fear
I don't know which it is but the pain is still lingering here

I'm sleeping less an I'm eating more
I'm drinking all day and pass out on the floor all alone
With no one to call because you were the one who was there when I'd fall
Back when we were much more than old friends
Darling what have I got to do
What have I got to say
To make you love me again

I've been sleeping in my car
I've been calling my friends at home
Asking if I can crash on the couch
Without actually letting them know
What's really going on
Cause if I were to say it out loud
It'd be like breathing life
Into something I'm desperately trying to drown

I do not eat and I do not sleep
There's nothing for me
Nothing left to believe in since you walked away
From a love I was trying to save
And I wish that you had tried
That you'd stayed by my side
Darling what have I got to do
What have I got to say
To make you love me again
