if you could stop my heart from beating
just by opening your eyes
would you spend your days in darkness
just to be here by my side?
or would you look up at me crying
and watch me crumble to the floor
as i beg you just to lay with me
and close your eyes once more

how can you leave me
here waiting for you
to come back home and tell me
i was never the one you saw
when you close your eyes
the name you called into the night
im just a way of passing time
'till the moment is right

so please
dont kick me when im down
im only trying
to find my way out of this lie
