I hear your voice loud and clear,
although it’s only a whisper.
It feels as if you’re the only one here
serenading my lonely heart.
Silently I’m begging,
for myself to hate you,
because deep down underneath I know
I’ll grow attached.
and fall in, all cards in
and I’m not strong enough
to back out when the stakes are high.

chorus:
Please, help me fall asleep.
But I don’t want to see your face
when the morning breaks.
Please, help me fall asleep.
I can’t handle anymore endless nights
of broken dreams.
I only ask of you one thing,
help me fall asleep.

Everyone makes mistakes
Everyone needs an escape
Everyone is afraid of what’s to come.
Everyone wants a cure
for their aches and pains of life
but everyone knows they will become addicted
and fall in, all cards in.

chorus:
Please, help me fall asleep.
But I don’t want to see your face
when the morning breaks.
Please, help me fall asleep.
I can’t handle anymore endless nights
of broken dreams.
I only ask of you one thing,
help me fall asleep.

I swore to myself,
I’d never write another love song
because it makes me depressed,
but lifts my spirits as well.
maybe it’s as well, that I haven’t fallen in love
because love is a serpent.
It would be really sweet,
if I could spend the rest of my life in sleep
because that’s the only time I’m happy.
I’d live in that realm any day.

chorus:
Please, help me fall asleep.
But I don’t want to see your face
when the morning breaks.
Please, help me fall asleep.
I can’t handle anymore endless nights
of broken dreams.
I only ask of you one thing,
help me fall asleep.

So please, help me fall asleep.
Give me your best lullaby,
make sure its infested with your smile.
please, help me fall asleep,
but I don’t want to see your face
when the morning breaks.
Help me achieve eternal sleep.

Happiness is wanting to be awake rather than wrapped up in dreams
