[Intro] Curtains drawn at noon Phone face down Dust in the window World feels too loud [Verse 1] Sink into the mattress Jaw locked Heart slow Thoughts like heavy traffic Nowhere left to go Wish I could just vanish Fade between the scenes Name on an old jacket Lost in a pile of jeans [Verse 2] Messages unanswered Blue dots like alarms Everyone keeps asking Why I pull apart I rehearsed a goodbye Typed and hit delete Staring at the ceiling Counting every beat [Pre-Chorus] If I close my eyes Do I wake up the same If I slip away Will anyone say my name [Chorus] Let me sleep Just let me sleep I am tired way down deep Hold my hand or leave me be I can’t carry all of me Let me sleep Just let me sleep Till this weight rolls off of me If I’m hanging by a thread Let me rest instead [Verse 3] Pills lined on the nightstand Like a quiet dare Every “it gets better” Echoes in the air But your voice in a voicemail Shakes me from that edge Saying “call me when you’re hurting” Soft as you can pledge [Bridge] Is it wrong to want to leave Or brave to stay and bleed I’m afraid of every door Afraid of what I need If I’m gone before the dawn Will the ache just move along Or will it live in someone else A shadow passed on [Breakdown] [Vocals drop to near whisper Guitar barely audible] I don’t wanna die I just wanna stop this ache (oh) I don’t wanna die I just need a clean escape [Chorus] Let me sleep Just let me sleep I am tired way down deep Hold my hand or sit with me While I learn to finally breathe Let me sleep Just let me sleep Guard the dark and count with me If I’m hanging by a thread Talk me down instead [Interlude] [Soft hummed melody over sparse piano] (mmm) stay (mmm) stay Just for one more day [Chorus] Let me sleep Just let me sleep Stay until the worst part leaves If my mind says “disappear” Be the voice that keeps me here Let me sleep Just let me sleep Turn the monsters into dreams If I’m hanging by a thread Love me back from the edge [Outro] Curtains crack at morning Thin line of pale gold I am still breathing Guess I’m not alone
