Not Tonight

Fixated on the wall
As I lay sideways in my bed
Thoughts they pulse along
Going right through my head

The tears well up and before I know
They’re streaming down right to the pillow below
And here I am, just a girl who wants to sleep

But I have no way, no way to help it
No one to heal the hurt
That’s going on in my heart
No one to take me back to the start
And it’s alright, I’ll get through it
Just got to keep on keeping on
And I’ll be ok, once night turns to day
Because I’m good at keeping a smile upon this face
Let me fall asleep already
I plead with all my might,
I don’t wanna cry tonight

Roll over to the other side of my body
Maybe I’ll be able to close my eyes
But when I try, all that I am able to see
Are the things that keep me up, what a surprise

More tears well up and before I know
They’re streaming down right to the pillow below
And here I am, just a girl who wants to talk

But I have no way, no way to help it
No one to heal the hurt
That’s going on in my heart
No one to take me back to the start
And it’s alright, I’ll get through it
Just got to keep on keeping on
And I’ll be ok, once night turns to day
Because I’m good at keeping a smile upon this face
Let me fall asleep already
I plead with all my might,
I don’t wanna cry tonight
