And you don't need v3 at all IMO....maybe a unique one line musical\lyrical bridge instead?

This has Janis potential

Thanks for your input John, but disagree.

regarding my life,
In my version the singer is slightly stumbling through her thoughts...to my ear...conveying emotion.
Your lyric seems too matter-of-fact to me.

regarding V3,
The purpose of V3 is to make the situation tangible for the listener. Seeing themselves in their bed trying to put some thoughts out of their mind...as everyone does.
And to set up the punchline which is a play on a well known bedtime prayer. Musically, that "play" is not working yet.
