Awake Tonight
As I lay there,
Wrapped in the security of your arms,
I share the secrets I've been keeping.
~}{~
As I whisper quietly,
the tales of my misforutne,
I wonder if you wish I were still sleeping.
~}{~
With fear in my eyes,
and pain in my heart,
I lean into you more,
and find just the place to start.
~}{~
As I fight the urge to take it all back,
I swallow hard and keep talking,
and hope that if I get it all out,
Away, I won't see you walking.
~}{~
Without you here,
I wonder now,
If what I did was right,
if what I had to say to you,
Will keep you up at night.
~}{~
I hope that all I had to share,
didn't come on much too strong.
I hope that all my secrets,
won't make you move along.
~}{~
As I lay here,
without you now,
I wonder if all's alright,
and if the secrets I shared with you,
Have you too, lying awake tonight.
~}{~
