Tonight- Boyce Avenue

The cars pass by outside
from one sign to the next
She tries to listen, tries to care,
pretending she knows best

She’s afraid of what she’s done,
not knowing what it is,
She prays for something, prays for her sins,
someday she’ll find rest

But the time is never right,
no it’s never right,
to step outside her life
to find what’s been lost
She’ll sleep on it tonight

A voice she left behind,
tells her that there’s time
She bears the burden, blames her own sin
hopes she’ll change her mind

The pain that never hides,
areflection from inside
She conceals the message, buries her head,
tells herself she’s fine

But her eyes, they say goodbye
No, they never lie
the windows to her life
To find, what’s been lost,
she’ll sleep on it tonight
