As I lay in my bed, wide awake
I reminisce on all the mistakes I’ve made
All the decisions I should have made

As I lay in my bed, I’m reminded that,
“If you make your bed, you lie in it”
And it feels like I dug my own grave 

As I lay in my bed, I’m reminded of a friend who hang himself from a tree
I always used to question why but now im wishing it was me

As I lay in my bed, I pray for a peace of mind
I pray my thoughts don’t consume me
I’ve been swimming for a long time and now I’m weary
