I cannot sleep without you here,
Our discord drove you away,
My heart aches for you to be near.
We pretended our love out of fear,
Of what would be lost in absence of day,
I cannot sleep without you here.
Clung to so long was no longer clear,
Our personal needs only got in the way,
My heart aches for you to be near.
My yearn for your touch you wouldn’t hear,
This ache for company made everything gray,
I cannot sleep without you here.
Broken now what you hold dear,
Our union light dimmed away,
My heart aches for you to be near.
This new path forward grips me with fear,
I want to see you again some day,
I cannot sleep without you here,
My heart aches for you to be near.
