I Can't Sleep

by Dark Angel - Pisces

Go to sleep they tell me
Get rid of those dark rings under your eyes
Relax
Don't think

How?
I can't go to sleep
I don't want to dream about you anymore
Relaxing is not in my power anymore
I gotta keep myself busy
I can't think about you
.... I have to think about you.

Why won't you just come back?
I said I was sorry.
It's not that big of a deal
The love I had for you was real
Why won't you come back?

I still love you
As much as ever
Nothing has changed
Except for the fact that you won't speak to me
You won't visit me
It's like you're on some big vacation
And I'm just waiting patiently at home
Till you arrive here again.

If you won't come back
Then go away.
Stay out of my dreams so I can sleep.
I don't want to think about you
You don't love me anymore
Don't care for me anymore
You act like I never existed.

You're torturing me
Stretching my heart more and more each day
Soon to be torn clear apart
Why do you search for her 
When the her you want is right here.
Why are you so blind?
Why are you so unemotional?

I fear going to bed a night
I don't want to lay down in the dark
I don't feel you holding me anymore
I don't want to feel so lonely.
Why did you shut it all off?
Why couldn't you just understand?
I thought you were the one
You felt like you were the one
...You still feel like you are the one.

You've lost me
By your own will
I'm still here
Waiting
Wanting
Living
Breathing
Hoping
Dreaming
...For the day you'll say I can come home.
