  • It's okay in the day
    I'm staying busy
    Tied up enough so I don't have to wonder where is he
    Got so sick of crying
    So just lately
    When I catch myself, I do a one-eighty
    I stay up, clean the house
    At least I'm not drinking
    Run around just so I don't have to think about thinking
    That silent sense of content
    That everyone gets
    Just disappears 'soon as the sun sets

    He's fierce in my dreams, seizing my guts
    He floats me with dread
    Soaked in soul
    He swims in my eyes by the bed
    Pour myself over him
    Moon spilling in
    And I wake up alone

    If I was my heart
    I'd rather be restless
    The second I stop, the sleep catches up
    And I'm breathless
    'Cause this ache in my chest
    As my day is done now
    The dark covers me, and I cannot run now
    My blood running cold
    I stand before him (before him, I)
    It's all I can do to assure him (assure him)
    When he comes to me
    I drip for him tonight
    Drowning in me, we bathe under blue light

    He's fierce in my dreams, seizing my guts
    He floats me with dread
    Soaked in soul
    He swims in my eyes by the bed
    Pour myself over him
    Moon spilling in
    And I wake up alone
    And I wake up alone
    And I wake up alone
    And I wake up alone Writer/s: Amy Winehouse, Paul O'Duffy
