“Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn’t it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens up your chest and it opens up your heart, and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you all up.”

I think I’ll sleep tonight as the clock strikes 12

I think I’ll sleep tonight once everyone lies down 

The clock says 3 and it’s almost dawn

I thought I would sleep but I guess I was wrong
