Verse 1
Today felt heavier than it should
Every smile took more than I had
Words piled up in my chest
Things I never said, things that hurt bad
I tried to stay strong, tried to stand tall
But the walls kept closing in
Every step felt like I was dragging
Every breath felt paper-thin
Pre-Chorus
I don’t wanna fight, I don’t wanna explain
I don’t wanna feel this weight again
Chorus
I just wanna lay down, close my eyes
Let the world fade into quiet tonight
No answers, no tears left to cry
Just let me sleep, let me sleep tonight
I’m so tired of holding it in
Of pretending that I’m alright
If tomorrow comes, I’ll face it then
But right now… just let me sleep tonight
Verse 2
My mind keeps replaying the day
Every moment I wish I could change
I gave more than I had to give
And still somehow ended in pain
The room feels cold, but I don’t move
Even the silence feels loud
I’m not asking to be saved
I just wanna be unbound
Pre-Chorus
From the noise, the fear, the ache inside
I just wanna rest my mind
Chorus
I just wanna lay down, close my eyes
Let the world fade into quiet tonight
No answers, no tears left to cry
Just let me sleep, let me sleep tonight
I’m so tired of being strong
Of carrying this weight alone
If healing’s waiting on the other side
I’ll find it when the sun comes up
Bridge
Maybe tomorrow won’t hurt this bad
Maybe I’ll feel like myself again
But tonight I’m running on empty
And this bed is my only friend
Outro
So I’ll lay here, breathing slow
Let the darkness hold me tight
I’ll deal with everything I don’t know
When morning finds me alive
But for now…
Just let me sleep tonight.
