'I wrote Sleep Deprived Girl for anyone who can relate to the lyrics. There isn't always a shoulder to cry on for some people and I hope this song can replace that." - Ryan O'Meara
lyrics
CHORUS:
Cheer up my little sleep deprived girl, (Go to sleep)
Leave your troubles with me,
Sweet Dreams my little sleep deprived girl, (Go to sleep)
Leave your troubles with me,
Sweet Dreams my little sleep deprived girl, (Go to sleep)
Leave your troubles with me,
Sweet Dreams my little sleep deprived girl, (Go to sleep)
Leave your troubles with me,
VERSE 1:
It's getting late.
When I woke up in the middle of night,
Well, You where wide awake,
Dreading the dawn of another day...
But girl, I promise...
That by tomorrow...
I wont let not a thing stand in your way...
And lets say you see the day when your falling of the tracks...
Feeling hated, degraded, I'm here to bring your back, oh...
And lets say, pretty girl, that no one can hold me back...
I'm created to take this weight of your back, oh...
CHORUS:
Cheer up my little sleep deprived girl, (Go to sleep)
Leave your troubles with me,
Sweet Dreams my little sleep deprived girl, (Go to sleep)
Leave your troubles with me,
Sweet Dreams my little sleep deprived girl, (Go to sleep)
Leave your troubles with me,
Sweet Dreams my little sleep deprived girl, (Go to sleep)
Leave your troubles with me,
VERSE 2:
Now, I know times are getting hard again...
But I will be your guardian...
My weapon is guitar and pen, your my paper, carve it in...
With all my might, I'll give it out...
Coz I wont see you giving in...
Your lining in my lyrics book tonight...
You've got me scribbling...
It's deep within the night and yet your eyes are wide awakening...
When i look deep inside, I see a troubled girl living within...
I know you say your fine but i can see right through your toughened skin...
I read you like a book but I'll re-write you with a happy end...
I see you toss and turn until your burning up the bed linen and shedding all the sheets because your hot but then your cold again...
Your leg is out, your leg is in...
Your out of bed, your in again...
Just let your troubles go and I'll take over...
Throw them to the wind...
Just go to sleep and take a break...
I'm here to hug you when you wake and kiss you on the cheek and say I love your every other way...
Together we can take the day like Tyson on a feather weight...
I'll never let you suffer...
Always here to cheer you up, hey...
CHORUS:
Cheer up my little sleep deprived girl, (Go to sleep)
Leave your troubles with me,
Sweet Dreams my little sleep deprived girl, (Go to sleep)
Leave your troubles with me,
Sweet Dreams my little sleep deprived girl, (Go to sleep)
Leave your troubles with me,
Sweet Dreams my little sleep deprived girl, (Go to sleep)
Leave your troubles with me,
