Would you do that if it really meant
That they would see you and would be convinced that you love me
And you didn't care who knew it?
Please believe me, when I say it's true
I have never felt as close to you, or anyone as I do right now
And I'm begging you- please don't leave yet
This moment is glass in it's fragile state
I have convinced myself that it won't crack or break
Like a heart, in the winter, when the air is cold
And your words are the same- I know them
I am broken, I m wounded
Watch me as my fragile frame collapses on me
But it's not your fault you never meant to hurt me
You hurt me
And when it's 5:00 a.m.
And you're too tired to ever sleep
There's no rest for the lonely
I hope I die in my sleep
There has never been such hopelessness or devotion

    yes, just like every one of conors songs this one is amazing.
    now lets talk about some meanings.. whaddaya say?
    "There's no rest for the lonely. I hope I die in my sleep"
    The Greatest Line.
    But behind it, i think he's saying that he wants to die in his sleep because if he's sleeping that means hes content and not lonely...

    These lines...
    "There's no rest for the lonely
