Hope: The Cure For Insomnia

It's hard to believe I'm still awake

thinking about the chances I didn't take

right about now I should be sleeping

but I can't with all this weeping

as if crying has done me any favors

I've probably disturbed the neighbors

Lord knows what they're thinking 

maybe that I've been drinking 
but that should come as no surprise 
I'd do anything to rest these eyes 

really it's my mind that needs the break 
thinking about the chances I didn't take 
how can I sleep with that on my heart 
to do nothing was cowardly on my part
I can only hope that everything will be all right
maybe I do deserve to be up all night 
but I can't begin the process of healing 
if I always find myself staring at the ceiling
it's just these feelings I can't seem to shake
thinking about the chances I didn't take 
they say too much of anything is a sin
but hopefully I'll get the chance again 
then it won't be as bad as it seems
because I'll do it the way I see it in my dreams
