Sleepless by The Strive Lyrics
Once upon a time there was a boy who loved a girl
She was absolutely perfect in an imperfect world
Forever's a promise, it's more than just a word
They meant it to each other, of that they were sure
He came home to her crying at the top of the stairs
He asked, "baby what's the matter?" as he pushed back her hair
She said honey I'm sick. What the hell did I do?
And with hate in his heart, he screamed at the moon
Please don't take her away from me, she truly is everything, that I have left
As selfish as it may seem, I need you here with me
Day after day, he stood by her side, while Sleepless in Seattle, played through his mind
Forever seems longer when you've got your whole life, but forever is forgotten where the end draws the line
She said "honey just listen, listen to me, we should be together in a boat on the sea."
He held back his tears, and spoke quietly, "When I picture forever, it's you here with me."
Please don't take her away from me, she truly is everything, that I have left
As selfish as it may seem, I need you here and please just let her go painlessly
Let her drift on in her dreams. Just don't make her feel a thing
Just try to get some sleep. This angel deserves her wings
As leaves fell from the trees, she became a memory, to a man who lost everything
Forever doesn't mean anything. Just a promise that we keep
But there's hope for you and me
She looked to the sky and with one final breath, she said "take this heart from out of my chest. Carry it far with the love you possess. I'm sorry my boy, but I tried my best
She was absolutely perfect in an imperfect world
Forever's a promise, it's more than just a word
They meant it to each other, of that they were sure
He came home to her crying at the top of the stairs
He asked, "baby what's the matter?" as he pushed back her hair
She said honey I'm sick. What the hell did I do?
And with hate in his heart, he screamed at the moon
Please don't take her away from me, she truly is everything, that I have left
As selfish as it may seem, I need you here with me
Day after day, he stood by her side, while Sleepless in Seattle, played through his mind
Forever seems longer when you've got your whole life, but forever is forgotten where the end draws the line
She said "honey just listen, listen to me, we should be together in a boat on the sea."
He held back his tears, and spoke quietly, "When I picture forever, it's you here with me."
Please don't take her away from me, she truly is everything, that I have left
As selfish as it may seem, I need you here and please just let her go painlessly
Let her drift on in her dreams. Just don't make her feel a thing
Just try to get some sleep. This angel deserves her wings
As leaves fell from the trees, she became a memory, to a man who lost everything
Forever doesn't mean anything. Just a promise that we keep
But there's hope for you and me
She looked to the sky and with one final breath, she said "take this heart from out of my chest. Carry it far with the love you possess. I'm sorry my boy, but I tried my best
