Every Time

[Faceless|Child]

Every time

I close my eyes
Pressing my hand down on my chest
Imagining it’s your heart next to mine

And I let out an unsteady breath
Hugging the blankets to my body
Pretending that it’s your warmth surrounding me

Every time I close my eyes
All I see is you
And with every beat of my heart
I hear you calling my name
I don’t want to let this feeling go (God knows)
And the wish of my heart:
That no matter where you are
Who you with
You can feel it

I wander through the day
My heart tucked safely away
Waiting until I can give it to you

And I lie to them
Make up another excuse
To stay at home so I can dream of you

Every time I close my eyes
All I see is you
And with every beat of my heart
I hear you calling my name
I don’t want to let this feeling go (God knows)
And the wish of my heart:
That no matter where you are
Who you with
You can feel it

I try my hardest everyday
To change the way I am
With a heart as shattered as a dream
I’m nowhere near what I seem
And I don’t want you to love me
I don’t want you to leave me
How screwed up this can be

And you know I can’t sleep
Because you aren’t here
And my heart breaks everytime
WE start to tip over the edge
I’m scared, baby I’m scared (God knows)
I’m not strong, but I’ll fight for you
And even if I lose
I’ll still make that wish
That you’ll stay beside me…
