Sometimes i lie awake in the dark
Thinking of what my life has become--
A race without a meaning, a life without a spark.
Listless and angry, my senses benumb.
Then i look at you darling
Sleeping beside me, with your hand in mine
And i feel a smile creep up my face
That tell me i will be all fine.
Strife, anger, bereavement, rage
Time goes past me in a haze
More i try to get out of the cage
I fail,my frustrations ablaze.
Then i look at you darling
Standing beside me, mine hands in thine
I cannot express the feeling
That i sense with our souls entwined.
Life's a banter; in it i crib and nag
Hoping that in my cranker
I can stop this drama, nothing but a fag.
A drink here, a hangover there
Nobody is happy, everything seems unfair.
Then i look at you darling
You give me a gentle squeeze
Helping me get out the anger
Giving me a release.
Hail, summer, winter, torrid rain
Every season that torments me
Reminding me of what all i could gain
And everything that i have failed to be.
Then i look at you darling
Braving with me every storm
Taking in all the blows and sticks
Sheltering my soul to form.
Depressed and moping, i stay
Don't know what i've to fear
Doing everything to get on your nerves
Baffle you with my accusations
Making you feel guilty with my tears.
I know you can't take it anymore
Wait for you to quit and go
( Dare you to do it)
But you give me a tired smile and say "NO"
"NO" to giving up on me
Giving me another chance to be.
Don't know how you can still love
A lost cause that i am
Just want to let you know,'fore it's late
Thank you darling
For always being there for me.
