lyrics

Sing Myself to Sleep
Music and Lyrics, (c) 2010 Eleanor Fye

I don’t need no lame excuses
‘Bout why you can’t come out tonight
I know that words have multiple uses
I get the messages alright

You say you wish for something
But your life reflects a different way
I guess I’ll stay and talk things over
Give it another day

Could be you’re doin’ me a favor
The songs keep comin’ in every flavor
And after I pray the Lord my soul to keep
Guess I’ll just sing myself to sleep

Maybe this is just a phase
Maybe I should wait and see
Or maybe I should find my rage
You shouldn’t do these things to me

Why do you make that promise
When you know you’re gonna let me down
I promise I’ll be here tomorrow
I hope you come around

[Chorus]

I always dreamed I’d have a night
In shining armor
Someone to hold me steady til the morning light
But now I’m lying here with no one there beside me
To tell me everything will be alright

If I take a big step back
Will I laugh at my fragility
And if I take a different tack
Will you sail away with me

You say you wish for something
Now c’mon, you gotta make it real
I want to know just what you’re thinking
Want to know just how you feel

[Final Chorus]
Could be you’re doin’ me a favor
The songs keep comin’ in every flavor
And after I pray the Lord my soul to keep
I might just cry myself to sleep

And after I pray the Lord my soul to keep
I’ll try to sing myself to sleep
