    All profits from the sale of this EP will be donated to Rethink Mental Illness in loving memory of Jacqueline Boulton. I wrote 'Will I Ever Sleep' about Jacq, after she ended her fight against depression on September 11th 2015.

    If you can give more, please do. Jacq was such a wonderful person who I had the pleasure of dating & being close friends with. I still can't believe she's gone...

So let me get this straight, The choice was made on the first date, And not before, I had the chance to make amends for the mistakes made, By immature boys, Selfish and so, I guess we’ll never know, What could have been, But never was. CHORUS I know you’re scared of what might be, But take a chance that’s all I ask, I know it’s tough but just relax, You’re punishing yourself & punishing me, This is a clean slate, make it a fresh break, The past is now complete. So am I second choice? A back up to a bad boy? You can’t see, You’re not his flavor of the week or don’t respect yourself or me, You disagree, But there are similarities, Maybe I’m wrong, You were meant to be. CHORUS I know you’re scared of what might be, I’m scared too, I think it shows, I’ve been hurt but I let it go. CHORUS

VERSE 1 You were only 26, When you chose to lose your grip, What could we have done? If only we had known. I’m haunted every night, By your Mother’s tears, My age will rise, You remain 26. VERSE 2 I question everything, Do you still exist? Can I forgive myself? Will I ever sleep? I hear your goofy laugh, I forget that you are gone, I see your winning smile, And the day I wiped it off… CHORUS No one should bury their son, No one should bury their daughter, No one should bury their young, No one, no. No one should bury their son, No one should bury their daughter, No one should bury their young, No one, no one. No one should bury their son, No one should bury their daughter, No one should bury their young, No one, no. No one should bury their son, No one should bury their daughter, No one should bury their young, Especially not this one.
