Don't Close Your Eyes



I give you all I have,
but you turn it away.
You won't accept what is real.
I never did lie or lure you for laughs,
yet you refuse to let yourself feel.

My life was born that day,
the moment that we met.
Though your gaze was cold, I knew
you were what I wanted, what I desire.
All that I ask for, I can find in you.

Go ahead.
Lie back down, close your eyes,
pretend I am just a dream.
Ignore the truth in your waking hours.
To you, nothing is what it seems.

Your mind's more than twisted.
My affection you deny.
You won't believe that I care.
All my efforts, you underestimate.
Would you rather be alone than be loved?

Go ahead.
Lie back down, close your eyes,
pretend I am just a dream.
Ignore the truth in your waking hours.
To you, nothing is what it seems.

My words don't reach your ears.
My touch, never welcomed.
My glances killed by closed eyes.
Your body's near, your heart's a world away.
Why won't anything penetrate your cage?

But I'm not giving up.
I won't leave you behind.
No matter what, I won't lose.
I will persevere, I am determined.
It must be me that you will one day choose.

Go ahead.  Go.  Just lie.
Lie back down, close your eyes.
Pretend I am just a dream.
Ignore the truth in your waking hours.
To you, nothing is what it seems.

Please don't pretend.  Don't close your eyes.
I am not a dream.
But to you, nothing is what it seems.
