lullaby

Sleep, don't weep, my sweet love
Your face is all wet and your day was rough
So do what you must do to find yourself
Wear another shoe, paint my shelf
Those times that I was broke, and you stood strong
I think I found a place where I...

Sleep, don't weep, my sweet love
Your face is all wet 'cause our days were rough
So do what you must do to fill that hole
Wear another shoe to comfort the soul
Those times that I was broke, and you stood strong
I think I found a place where I feel I will...

Sleep, don't weep, my sweet love
My face is all wet 'cause my day was rough
So do what you must do to find yourself
Wear another shoe, paint my shelf
Those times that I was broke, and you stood strong
I hope I find a place where I feel I belong

Sleep, don't weep, my sweet love
My face is all wet 'cause my day was rough

Sometimes you grow a little tired of everything. No matter how much you sleep, you wake up with a burden on your shoulders. Giving is better than receiving, they say. But it also tires you when it seems that you're the only one on this side of the fence.

You have a lot of good things in life, and you'll always be thankful for them. But sometimes things aren't as simple as they seem. You live your life trying to break things down into small, manageable tasks. It makes things easier. Just that every now and then, they grow into a big ball of mess.

So you decide how to go forward. Do you learn to slowly let them go? Or do you try to work it out?

Because whether we like it or not, we end up using each other. When our purpose is done, we fade into the background. Except when it comes to a few special ones. They always remember.

But it doesn't stop things from being tiring. Maybe for once you want to lie down and take it in. You want the world to be unfair in your favour. Just for a while, you want to stop giving.
