I'm Crying, But Not Because of You.

Tears are streaming
Down my cheek
Truth be told
I haven’t slept in a week

Why am I so sad?
I was fine just yesterday.
I swear, it’s not because
You up and went away

I’m sick of staring at the ceiling
In search of peace
Maybe I’ll finally
Get some sleep

I’m tired of closing my eyes
And being in pain
I’m sick of hearing
Your fucking name

I don’t want to be awake again
So I try to sleep it off
But I always see what I can’t get back
So I just bury my head in my hands

I don’t want to see the photos
That make me want to leave town
Just like the bottle
Both of them are down

I feel like I’m imprisoned
Trapped inside my bed
If I try to leave it
I’ll surely fall apart.

I’m crying because I can’t breathe
It’s hard to sleep
I’m frustrated to the point of tears
Because I can’t do what I want to do

At least, not anymore.

Oh yes, I’m crying
But trust me-
It’s not because of you.
