Lew's Lullaby

Tears fill up my head
 We can't stay on this bed forever
 But I sort of thought
 When I left your room
 You'd come running out
 Say I left too soon
 But it's 5 a.m
 You should get some sleep
 See you in a year
 Maybe two or three
 Off to college today
 My first school without friends
 Here's my chance to start new
 Here's my chance to pretend
 That I'm not quite as sad
 As my music lets on
 And I'm not quite as madly
 In love with someone
 Who lives oceans away
 I could swim if she wanted
 But she thinks it'd be best
 If we both just moved on
 That's not something she'd say
 If she hadn't already
 I need something to break
 Someone to keep me steady
 I pick myself up off another floor now
 Set my head upon my neck again
 Guess I'll give the world another chance to end
 I'll give the world another chance to show me why it probably should
 And I saw plenty good
 But that was long before you left me here alone
 That was long before they set me free to roam
 And now I think that maybe if I'd stayed at home
 I'd still have a brain that's not depression-prone
 It's weighed me down since you turned it to stone
 I'll leave it here on the side of the road
 One wants not for that of which one does not know
 If I lose my mind I'll lose the thought of you
 And that's the only option you've left me to choose
 So
 I'll stay out of my mind
 I'll stay out of my mind
 I'll stay out of my mind
 I'll stay out of my mind
 I'll stay out of my mind
 I'll stay out of my mind
 I'll stay out of my mind
 I'll stay out of my mind
 I'll stay out of my mind
 I'll stay out of my mind
 I'll stay out of my mind
 I'll stay out of my mind
 I'll stay out of my mind
 I'll stay out of my mind
