Close Your Eyes

Close your eyes
Sleep tight tonight
When you wake up in the morning
I’ll be gone
To prove you wrong
There’s nothing you can say
That will ever change me and my ways
So you love making lists
And crossing things off of it
I never knew that I’d be one of them
Surprise, surprise
Open up your eyes
I always knew cameras could capture lives
I never knew they captured lies
Just the same they capture time
Now you’re biting bullets and swallowing your pride
Snap, snap
Take a photograph
You will never get me back
Close your eyes
Sleep tight tonight
When you wake up in the morning
I’ll be gone
To prove you wrong
There’s nothing you can say
That will ever change me
Imbed your thoughts into my vocal cords
Until I can’t bare to sing anymore
I bet if you could make one wish
Your life would be completely different
So perfect and romantic
With the taste of my lips
To poison every kiss
That you just give away
And I will pray for you
No matter what…sinner
Close your eyes
Sleep tight tonight
When you wake up in the morning
I’ll be gone
To prove you wrong
There’s nothing you can say
That will ever change me and my ways
I found this to be sad but true
I would expect nothing less from you
An apology filled with I’s and Me’s
I guess I never really had any needs
I gave you everything that I ever had
I gave it to you, good or bad
What else could you possibly want?
All that I have left is my blood
So I caught that bird for you
To sing you that tune
A reminder I still love you
I do, I swear I really do
It means the world to me
What does it mean to you?
And I say if this is just a game
Then I refuse to play
I’ll walk away just to say…
Close your eyes
Sleep tight tonight
When you wake up in the morning
I’ll be gone
To prove you wrong
And there’s nothing you can say
That will ever change me
