lyrics

It’s raining outside, and the clock is all threes. I know you’re awake from the way that you’re breathing. The wind is a ghost screaming under the trees. My eyes are closed tight, still pretending to sleep. You’re crying again, with your face turned away. You stifle your sobs, trying hard not to wake me. When the rain on the glass finally lulls you to sleep, I’ll be staring at the ceiling, trying hard not to think.

When sleep closes your eyelids, whose face do you see? Who is it you dream of? Does he still look like me?

I’ll wake with the morning, and pretend not to see the tears that have dried overnight on your cheeks. And we’ll face one more day in this half-life we lead, and the white lies in your black eyes that I try to believe. (I still can't sleep.)
