Afraid to sleep

I'm all alone and lie here, quiet as a mouse
I hate going to bed without you in this house
I'm afraid to go to sleep so I leave the light on
Everything about this picture feels so wrong

Voices, darkness, fear, I wake up in the middle of the night
Asking myself which demon was it this time I had to fight
There's no-one in this house and I'm afraid to go to sleep
I leave the light on but it still strikes me so deep

I don't understand the choices that you make
I keep asking myself why there's no-one when I awake
I walk around in circles all day long
Damned, why is the love I feel for you so strong?

It is you I love every second of the day
But somewhere down the line it went the wrong way
I'm all alone in this house and I'm afraid to say goodnight
I'm scared I'll think of you, and I know I just might

Every night I feel alone, in silence I cry
Till I feel another piece of my soul that starts to die
I'm afraid to go to sleep so I leave the light on
Still everything about this picture feels so wrong
