when you feel so tired but you can't sleep...

(the random song lyrics contest...go at it peeps...name your own prizes and, well, i'll see what i can do ;)

when you feel so tired but you can't sleep...
when you lose something that you can't replace
when you love someone but it goes to waste
could it be worse?

if heaven and hell decide that they both are satisfied
illuminate the "no"s on their vacancy signs

what if you should decide
that you don't want me there by your side...

i want to be someone else or i'll explode

i've never been this bored before.
is this the prize i've waited for?
now with the hours passing...
have i got a long way to run.

and all the roads we have to walk are winding
and all the lights that lead us there are blinding
there are many things that i'd like to say to you
but i don't know how

are you sad?
are you holding yourself?
are you locked in your room?
you shouldn't be...

someday love will find you
break those chains that bind you

oh, if you want to love me
then, darlin, don't refrain

i don't quite know
how to say how i feel
those three words
are said too much
they're not enough

sleep will not come to this tired body now
peace will not come to this lonely heart
there are some things i live without
but i want you to know
that i need you...

who am i to need you when i'm down?
and where are you when i need you around?

you should know that i love you...
oh honey, i'm just a fool...
you see for so long i was blue
and if i hurt then you would too.
oh honey, i always lose.

you and i got somethin,
but it's all and then it's nothin...
i'm not the one who broke you
i'm not the one you should fear...
i thought i lost you somewhere
but you were never really ever there at all

i can't be losing sleep over this, no i can't
and now i cannot stop pacing.
give me a few hours, i'll have this all sorted out
if my mind would just stop racing

i've been down here before
lost myself and so much more
find my way out of the game again

and i wish i could know if the directions that i take
and all the choices that i make
won't end up all for nothing...
show me it's okay to use my heart and not my eyes

i can't always be waitin, waitin on you
i can't be always playin, playin your fool

if that's all you will be, you'll be a waste of time...
it must make you sad to know that no one cares at all

it's been a rough road baby, just let it go...
tell me what's the use of holdin on when all we do is hurt...

where once was light, now darkness falls
where once was love, love is no more...
these tears we cry, are falling rain...

goodnight to every little hour that you sleep tight
may it hold you through the winter of a long night
and keep you from the loneliness of yourself...
the sun shines but i don't
the silver rain will wash away the pain

someday soon i'll wake and find my heart won't have to break
