I close my eyes to sleep,
But your whispers scream at me,
Your vexed, enchanted eyes,
Seem to hold the night,
Who will watch over my head?
Send angels for my broken head?
I just want release,
For once peace,
You hold me on the edge,
Exhausted I grip my bed,
But then something you said,
Tares me awake again,
I just want to walk my way,
In memories of silly things,
Just leave me to lie,
Free of your lies!
While I lie awake,
You're being kissed asleep,
The way I used you do,
So cruel,
You drift off in his arms,
I'm jealous and rearmed,
Awake and so aware,
I'll never share,
The story words melt and fade,
And I'm reading your name again and again,
And just one more sip of my drink,
Another sleepless night to think,
About you, the reason I strum,
And wiping the memory of your love,
It won't leave me clean,
It won't leave me clean,
