Saying goodnight to the one that might be
Listening close as I sing of my dreams
Kissed a goodnight to the winds of the sleep
So when I wake up I won't have to play make believe
Saying goodnight to the one that might be
Waking up, it's just me, what's new
Sun is shining but the pain seeps through (listening close as I sing of my dreams)
Don't want to get up
I'd rather stay under my covers and sleep (kissed a goodnight to the winds of the sleep)
I'd rather stay living inside of my dream
Reality got a hold on me (so when I wake up I won't have to play make believe)
And I can't seem to shake it
Depression is lurking
I don't think I'll make it
My friends think I'm fine (saying goodnight to the one that might be)
And my family is aimless
Been downing these pills
Just to numb into brainless
But my wrist is so icy (listening close as I sing of my dreams)
I patched up with stainless
Prayed up these walls
So the picture is tainted
I'm tired of thinking (kissed a goodnight to the winds of the sleep)
I'd rather just sleep
Goodnight to my demons
Just leave me be (so when I wake up I won't have to play make believe)
Deep in my sleep
I've finally been finding some peace
Saying goodnight to the one that might be
Listening close as I sing of my dreams
Kissed a goodnight to the winds of the sleep
So when I wake up I won't have to play make believe
Saying goodnight to the one that might be
Laying and staring right up at the ceiling
Thinking I'm broken and not meant for healing (listening close as I sing of my dreams)
Maybe it's time that I left
'Cause I didn't care the last time that I checked (kissed a goodnight to the winds of the sleep)
Been living my life for what? A check?
When's the last time that I went out with friends? (So when I wake up I won't have to play make believe)
Been working so hard that I ended up lying on hospital beds
Collapse on my lung in effect, I coulda ended up dead (saying goodnight to the one that might be)
So baby, I'm tired of lying, I miss you, I'm trying (listening close as I sing of my dreams)
To become enough for your love
One that I don't even know if I want (kissed a goodnight to the winds of the sleep)
But you are the person I need
When I fall asleep
I see you, inside of my dreams (so when I wake up I won't have to play make believe)
Inside of my dreams
Saying goodnight to the one that might be
Listening close as I sing of my dreams
Kissed a goodnight to the winds of the sleep
So when I wake up I won't have to play make believe (Ely)
