Help me to be patient
And tell me this nightmare
Will not last forever.
The nightmare will not last forever,
I will be better.
Wake me, darling, wake me
When you see the strain
On my eyes and my forehead,
I need you for that.
Stay tonight and spare me
Another bad dream,
I need the light on your face
So don't let me go.
Close your eyes and tell me
What you'd like to be.
I may write seventeen stories
On seventeen dreams,
But everything fails to
Make me forget what has been.
Oh, please don't let me go.
Dull and unoriginal
Is everything that's left
To scrape off of my cutting board
To try and sound pitiful.
And though life's not
Wrapped up in clover
Sometimes I hear myself
Cry 'It's not over'.
Oh please help me calm down,
Help me breath in,
Teach me to let it go.
Please don't let me go.
Nothing much to say then.
The candle light's fainting
And sure as hell
It's gonna be dark again.
Daylight has burnt again.
