"Sleep At Sunrise"

Usually I'm good with this
I know the past is gone
I know that I've come far
And I know I must move on

But tonight I wish that everything
I've learned could be erased
Forget this time, this place
Send me back and try again

I only sleep at sunrise now and I
Only sleep until I can't handle my dreams
My past, my hopes, my friends, my loves
It's all I ever see and I...just...want...it...back...again...

Used to be my memory
Was none too good, I know
Aw, who'm I kidding, where did it all go?
And why can't I forget?

So tonight I sit here daydreaming
Of a future I won't have
To forget what I do not have
Sometimes even I cannot recall

I only sleep at sunrise now and I
Only sleep until I can't handle my dreams
My past, my hopes, my friends, my loves
It's all I ever see and I...just...want...it...back...again...

I thought that it was over when I left
Then I thought that it was over when I returned
Sometimes I don't know why I tried at all
An' if this is the end, then please don't go
This isn't solving anything at all...

I'm sorry and I love you are the words
No-one can say when they need to
Maybe you don't feel you need to
I do, but still I keep it to myself

Tonight I miss everything so much
Good memories are not enough
I know none of it can change, that's not enough
'Cause still my phone does not ring

I only sleep at sunrise now and I
Only sleep until I can't handle my dreams
My past, my hopes, my friends, my loves
It's all I ever see and I...just...want...it...back...again...

'Cause it's all I ever see and I just wait
Still it's all I ever see when I close my eyes
It's all I ever see and I don't care about my lessons learned
They are meaningless
I want it back again, I want you back again
I never had you, but I want you back
I never really had it all, but I want it back
And it's all I ever see...
