I don't want to close my eyes,

I can't try to go to sleep.

I don't like saying goodbyes.

And I sure don't like to weep.

If I could go to bed,

I'd rather do that instead.

But, I can't get rid of my dreams.

It's not as easy as it seems.

I'd rather be awake,

Knowing my heart's not at stake.

Than sleep and feel my dream,

You killed my self-esteem.

I can choose not to see you,

I can choose to ignore you, too.

But I can't control my dreams,

Until I'm not afraid to sleep.
