My Sleep - ArlenaZara
I hear your voice in the quiet night
Soft and broken
Fading from sight
I reach for you, but you're not there
Just empty air
In this despair
I speak a name to the shadows
As if they could bring you near
Every word drips with longing
Every whisper hides my fear
I try to wake, I try to breathe
But your memory won't let me leave
I talk to you, when I can't speak
Because my heart still seeks
I talk to you in my sleep
Telling secrets I can't keep
Hoping somehow you'll hear
Through the distance, through the years
I'm haunted by what we lost
Counting every lonely cost
I talk to you in my sleep
While the world is dreaming deep
I lie awake in the quiet room
Surrounded by the ghost of you
Your laughter lingers in the dark
A fire I can't reignite
I whisper all the things I should have said
The love I hid behind my pride
I talk to you when no one listens
When the tears I cry
I wish I could turn back time
Hold you close, make you mine
But all I have is a silent plea
And the echo of you with me
I talk to you in my sleep
Telling secrets I can't keep
Hoping somehow you'll hear
Through the distance, through the years
I'm haunted by what we lost
Counting every lonely cost
I talk to you in my sleep
While the world is dreaming deep
Maybe one day I'll learn to let go
Stop speaking to shadows I know
But tonight I'm still here
Talking to you, holding you near
Even if it's just in dreams
Even if nothing is as it seems
I talk to you in my sleep
Pouring out the love I keep
Hoping that somewhere you'll feel
All the wounds I can't heal
I'm haunted by what we lost
Bearing every lonely cost
I talk to you in my sleep
Till my heart finds peace so deep
I talk to you
In my sleep
Hoping one day my heart will keep
