This May Sound edited I don’t know, this may sound silly, but every night as I go to sleep I think about you. I turn out the light and crawl into my empty bed and a piece of me feels lost. I feel a hole where my heart is when I must lay there alone night after night. When I am with you, I feel I’m complete. Nothing else matters when we’re holding hands with your heart near me. Then I can sleep. When I fall into my empty bed again and feel the hole burning through my heart once more, I wish I didn’t feel so all alone, and I wish the hole would go away.
