Nothing ever comes of being lonely
Nothing ever comes of feeling sad
Is that all you ever had?
Tell me another bedtime story
help me go to sleep
fill my head with sweet lies
comfort me
please make it alright
Nothing ever ends up like it should
Nothing ever ends up for the better
Nothing ever ends but in the end
No time left for you to spend
Please tell me not to worry
Please be mine to keep
Put your hand on my eyes
Let me be
silent with the night
Like the leaves
in the breeze
Days turn to memories
All the words
never heard
distant and absurd
Senseless wasted once again
Senseless waiting for tomorrow
Senseless vacant and content
No more wondering what it meant
Tell me another bedtime story
help me go to sleep
fill my head with sweet lies
comfort me
please make it alright
Please tell me not to worry
Please be mine to keep
Put your hand on my eyes
Let me be
silent with the night
