Sleepless

First cut is the deepest

I toss and turn

The loss it burns

Like moss it grows

I can feel it churn

The morning breaks

I'm still awake

My eyes are wide open

My hand it shakes

Deprived of sleep

No counting sheep

The house is silent

Not a sound nor peep

And if I make it through this day

On my knees I'll be to pray

To God above I'll ask to bless

The ones that burn inside my chest

For they know the pain they've caused

And why I seem to get no rest

heartbreak
