Can’t sleep
Why do I feel pain for you?
If I never saw you in person
Why do I feel like I lost a friend even though we never met
Sometimes I wish there was no such thing as death
When I close my eyes I can just imagine those final seconds
It’s a sight I don’t want to see or experience
It’s easy to remember your greatness
But it’s hard to think about your legacy without you
Why do I feel pain for her?
If I never met the kid
I just feel so sick
Because I know that kid had a bright future ahead
A future we all take for granted
Just because it’s not up to our imaginary standards
If yesterday isn’t proof that life can change in an instance then I don’t know what to tell you
I just hope all of you can rest after this
Maybe after this, I can rest too
It’s up to the lord if he’ll let me sleep tonight
Until then I’m just up because I can’t sleep
I want to close my eyes and count sheep
But I can’t because I just wish yesterday never happened
I wish the world didn’t have this pain to experience
It’s a lot to wish for
I just hope we all can get some sleep tonight
I just hope we can start to enjoy every second we have with each other
You never know how much time you have left
