“I lay in this bed Unable to sleep Lonely thoughts and memories Slowly my eyes begin to weep I think about how I got here Its a night that I regret I toss and turn for hours Leaving my sheets damp from cold sweat And I can hear all your warnings Its an echo inside my mind If only I could flip over the hourglass And turn back the hands of time I wouldnt be in this position Never would have crossed that line Instead Id be with you¦. Sipping on our life slowly Like everyday was the finest of wine Id hold precious moments Live each day like its our last But instead Im laying in this bed¦. Thinking about memories that have passed.”
