I close my eyes to sleep,nBut your whispers scream at me,nYour vexed, enchanted eyes,nSeem to hold the night,nWho will watch over my head?nSend angels for my broken head?nI just want release,nFor once peace,nnYou hold me on the edge,nExhausted I grip my bed,nBut then something you said,nTares me awake again,nI just want to walk my way,nIn memories of silly things,nJust leave me to lie,nFree of your lies!nnWhile I lie awake,nYou’re being kissed asleep,nThe way I used you do,nSo cruel,nnYou drift off in his arms,nI’m jealous and rearmed,nAwake and so aware,nI’ll never share,nnThe story words melt and fade,nAnd I’m reading your name again and again,nAnd just one more sip of my drink,nAnother sleepless night to think,nAbout you, the reason I strum,nAnd wiping the memory of your love,nIt won’t leave me clean,nIt won’t leave me clean,n
