A knot in my stomach
A knot in my stomach
A tear in my eye
I can't sleep
I don't know why
Engulfed in sadness
I lay in bed
Haunted by thoughts
Spinning in my head
A reason to live
The strength to fight
I need these things
To get through this night
Teddy held tight
Blankets up to my chin
Turn the radio up
I won't give in
Slow deep breaths
Have no fear
In a few short hours
Morning will be here
