Tell me why you cry, little child
Tell me why you sigh when I smile
Is it because you want someone to hold to tight
Is it because when I'm here, everything's alright
Close your eyes and lay down your head
You are safe inside your bed
Is it so hard to sleep when you are on your own
Is it so hard to dream when you are all alone
Nothing creeping along the floor
Nothing chasing you anymore
Is it always this difficult to fall asleep
Is it always due to the secrets that we keep
Pull the covers up to your chin
Take a breath, then take it all in
Is it fully aware that you are not awake
Is it fully aware, your head, and all the things that ache
Is it always this difficult to fall asleep
Is it always due to the secrets that we keep
Is it so hard to sleep when I am on my own
Is it so hard to dream when I am all alone
Is it because you want someone to hold to tight
Is it because when I'm here, you can sleep at night
