Leave It With Me

I’ve been thinking of the ways to say
But ways to say don’t come that easy
Words they rattle round my head for days
They never form a line to please me
So I lie awake all night again
She says this isn’t healthy
This mind and mouth do not connect like friends
Besides I could be acting selfish
Hide it, Inside, Don’t wish, Too hard
Place it where you can’t see, down deep a leave it be
Find it, Right now, Speak it, Let down
Take a breath and set it free, Fish it out and leave it with me
Has the passion all but gone and fade
At this rate he’ll see right through me
I’m up so early and I’m gone again
Can’t work out who should feel more guilty
No eyes have shut here now for several nights
Can you survive without sleeping
Could you hear a pin drop in the night
Hiding here it feels less needy
Hide it, Inside, Don’t wish, Too hard
Place it where you can’t see, down deep a leave it be
Find it, Right now, Speak it, Let down
Take a breath and set it free, Fish it out and leave it with me
I can’t connect it
I can’t project this
I just can’t write it down
I can’t forget this
I won’t lose perspective
I can’t make a sound
Morning calls after dark of night
Today we could set the sun shining
Embrace the light like it’s an easy friend
Welcome toast with cups of coffee
Hide it, Inside, Don’t wish, Too hard
Place it where you can’t see, down deep a leave it be
Find it, Right now, Speak it, Let down
Take a breath and set it free, Fish it out and leave it with me
Leave it with me
