"Sleep It Away" lyrics

Heavy eyes
Desperate cries

I can't stop my thoughts from racing
So I guess I'll just sleep them away
I can't face another day
So I guess I'll just sleep it away

I always needed you
But now you're just a memory
I let you slip away
Now all that's left is the struggle to forgive myself
I feel so lost and alone
I can't leave 'cause this is all I have ever known
I feel so lost and alone
All I want is a reason to exist

We are beautiful when we close our eyes
The world shuts out and time begins to fly
No one can hurt you and everything is gray
It's the perfect way to escape
The fact that you didn't stay

Can I start again?

Heavy eyes
Have I always felt this way?
Desperate cries
Was I always wired this way?

I can't stop my thoughts from racing
So I guess I'll just sleep them away
I can't face another day
So I guess I'll just sleep it away

We are beautiful when we close our eyes
The world shuts out and time begins to fly
No one can hurt you and everything is gray
It's the perfect way to escape
The fact that you didn't stay
Ooh, you didn't stay

Heavy eyes
Desperate cries
