| Sleep does not give me rest I clutch the pillow To my gut and my stomach I lie on my liver My sides won't support me Lying crumbled My sides swollen Dawn came upon me Love's wound The damage it caused Is not one that I can heal from When I was well Before it became unmanageable I thought to avoid getting to know it I thought not to surrender to it Now that I am so weak (in love) Would wailing do me any good? When I was well Before it became unmanageable I thought to avoid getting to know it I thought not to surrender to it Now that I am so weak (in love) Would wailing do me any good? Oh I will not heal My radiance and my luck Neither have rescued me That glimmer of sunshine You didn't look for it with me Month upon month You postponed our plans Only to substitute (your promise) Month upon month You postponed our plans Only to substitute (your promise) Tomorrow and today Its anticipation I lied to my soul Tomorrow and today Its anticipation I lied to my soul When I was well Before it became unmanageable I thought to avoid getting to know it I thought not to surrender to it Now that I am so weak (in love) Would wailing do me any good? When I was well Before it became unmanageable I thought to avoid getting to know it I thought not to surrender to it Now that I am so weak (in love) Would wailing do me any good?
