You know you’ve overdone it
You are exhausted and barely awake
Your eyes twitch with fatigue
But you are just too tired to sleep
…
You lie down in a dark room
Waiting for sleep to take hold
Longing for it to be quick
But you are just too tired to sleep
…
You can lie there for hours
With your eyes closed and relaxed
But no matter what you do
You are just too tired to sleep
…
You are beyond the point of no return
You know your mind has to rest
You can’t do anything else
But you are just too tired to sleep
…
It’s frustrating but resting is good
Your body is working hard
To repair the damage
You are just too tired to sleep
…
Even though you can’t sleep
By doing nothing you are helping
By staying in bed and resting
You are doing all you can
