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
