JUST TRY TO SLEEP WITH A BROKEN HEART

In the stillness of the night,
where the shadows blend and play,
I lie awake, recounting every word
I didn’t say.
The echoes of our laughter,
the silence in the dark.
How can you try to sleep
with a broken heart?

CHORUS:
JUST TRY TO SLEEP WITH
A BROKEN HEART,
Where every aching beat
feels like an upset cart.
The moonlight mocks
another morning's start.
In the night’s embrace,
we are worlds apart.

I’ve sifted through the ashes
of the love we owned,
Searching for forgiveness
in the coldness we've shown.
Each regret lays heavy,
each memory's left its mark,
I'm just trying to find peace
with a restless, broken heart.

Do you ever wander back
to those careless days?
Or am I all alone,
trapped in this longing haze?
Forgive me, my love,
the way I played the wrong part,
In the theatre of our dreams,
where I forgot my heart.

CHORUS:
JUST TRY TO SLEEP WITH
A BROKEN HEART,
Where every aching beat
feels like an upset cart.
The moonlight mocks
another morning's start.
In the night’s embrace,
we are worlds apart.

Now, I count each breath you’re gone,
as the time drips by,
The clock ticks on relentlessy,
as I’m left to wonder why.
In the quiet despair,
where thoughts and shadows part,
I lie here still,
just trying to mend my broken heart.

So here’s to nights reflecting,
and to the pain that teaches best,
To the love that was our connection,
to the heart within my chest.
May morning bring redemption,
and a chance for a new start.
Until then, I’ll JUST TRY
TO SLEEP WITH A BROKEN HEART.

CHORUS:
JUST TRY TO SLEEP WITH
A BROKEN HEART,
Where every aching beat
feels like an upset cart.
The moonlight mocks
another morning's start.
In the night’s embrace,
we are worlds apart.
