Even Though
My bed is too hot
My blanket is too heavy
Even though there is frost
Sweat forms on my brow
And sleep will not come
My chest is too tight
My mind, full of thoughts
Even though my life’s fine
Doubts remain in my heart
And peace will not come
My legs are too itchy
My back is quite stiff
Even though I am healthy
There are aches and pains
And rest will not come
My house is all empty
No others have come here
Even though I have friends
I don’t want their company
And pleasure will not come
My lips are too lonely
My hands won't hold you
Even though you loved me
There are so many regrets
Because love did not stay
My blanket is too heavy
Even though there is frost
Sweat forms on my brow
And sleep will not come
My chest is too tight
My mind, full of thoughts
Even though my life’s fine
Doubts remain in my heart
And peace will not come
My legs are too itchy
My back is quite stiff
Even though I am healthy
There are aches and pains
And rest will not come
My house is all empty
No others have come here
Even though I have friends
I don’t want their company
And pleasure will not come
My lips are too lonely
My hands won't hold you
Even though you loved me
There are so many regrets
Because love did not stay
