I watch you as you're sleeping

Dedicated to my brother

I watch you as you're sleeping
The greatest gift of all
That peaceful sense is missing
And I know that soon you’ll fall

Your life’s embraced by darkness
The path ahead’s unclear
I want to stay together
But you won’t stay happy here

The times are slowly changing
And I know things can’t be right
But I let the silent tears fall
You can’t see them in the night

I stare into the blackness
All that’s left of your sweet hope
I tried to make things better
But you chose not to cope

I watch you as you're sleeping
Laying there in disarray
I pray that you’ll come back to me
These wounds will heal someday
