You say “Shhh, just go to sleep” You don’t recognize the pain in me “It will all feel better once you close your eyes” You don’t stop to think that this could be the last time “You’ll feel better in the morning You’ll feel better when the sun rolls over those Hollywood Hills You’ll feel better if you could just let it be” But this world tends to drain me I am alone now, head in my hands It’s a blow to the ego A shot to the heart A knife to the stomach Don’t forget where we started Cause I don’t want to watch it end I learned how to break and forgot how to bend You say, “Shhh, this all will mend Look around, I’m here, I’m still your best friend This will all feel better once we find ourselves” I wish I could describe what I try to hide, it’s a painful spell “You’ll feel better in the morning You’ll feel better after you get a day out of LA You’ll feel better once you drink some tea” Yeah, sleep used to visit me But I’m alone now, head in my hands It’s a blow to the ego A shot to the heart A knife to the stomach Don’t forget where we started Cause I don’t want to watch it end I learned how to break and forgot how to bend Oh, these were sacred places Our ghosts warm the open spaces and behind broken doors Oh, the miles now accumulate and change will percolate But the current moves forward always I say “Shhh, it’s okay to sleep You’re an angel girl, you’ve got all you need It’s hard when no one’s there to hold your hand But don’t believe the lie that you cannot fly without a solid plan You’ll feel better in the morning You’ll feel better sensing the strength that flows through this city’s veins You’ll feel better once you know you’re already free This pain won’t get the best of me” When it all ends, it’s time to begin
