Just Let Me Sleep

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.
