Lullaby

I don’t wanna fight right now 

Can you just forgive me for the night?

I don’t wanna talk right now 

Can this just wait til the morning?

I don’t wanna hate you right now

Can you just stay with me til the sun comes up?

I don’t wanna sleep on different sides of the bed

I don’t wanna see how angry you get

If I hated you more, maybe we wouldn’t fight

If I loved you more, maybe I wouldn’t have to be right

You get defensive and weaponize my words

I say things I don’t mean

Can you just hold me til the morning? 

I can’t find “goodnight” in my heart 

I can’t bring us to part 

If this is the making of something great, then why am I so afraid?

Will I wake to find “I’ll love you forever” has started to fray and fade?

I don’t want to think right now 

Can you just sing me to sleep?
