And there you lie, comfortably numb . . .  
 
I think everyone can relate to this, Hunter.    
 
The only honest critique I can honor your request with is this:  
 
Then a moment of awareness  
faded into carelessness once again.  
 
I awoke in confusion  
(and) turned over to see if you were really there.  
In the darkness  
I couldn't see a thing.  
(And) I must admit  
I felt a rush of paranoia flood through.  
 
Ooh love  
 
(And) then I had to face the truth[;]  
You weren't there,  
the dream is over  
Here I {lay},  
alone.  
 
The parenthetical references are suggestions for removal, while the brackets are suggested insertions.   As to grammar (without going into a plethora of technicals), lay should be lie.   The only time we can use lay to mean “to recline” is in the past tense.  Here's a reference link:
