My eyelids are starting to get a little bit heavy
(But I don't wanna sleep tonight)
And I'm trying to stay awake by my body feels so weak
(It happens to me every time)
As I lay here tonight on this bed all alone
I'll try to convince myself that I don't miss you at all

But every time the lights turn off, the lights turn off
I gotta face the truth
And even though I try all day (I try)
I try all day (I try)
Not to think of you

Every time I close my eyes I see your face
And it doesn't matter just how hard I try I can't escape
I don't' wanna fall asleep ('cause I know)
That I'll see you in my dreams (all night long)
I don't wanna fall asleep ('cause I know)
That I'll see you in my dreams (all night long)
I don't wanna fall asleep

When the morning is here I know I'm gonna be just fine
(And I won't be missing you at all)
So all I gotta do is make it through to the daytime
(And the pain won't be there anymore)
And when people ask me I tell them
I've been good since you've been gone
But soon as the day is over
And I get home to an empty house I know

Baby when the lights turn off, the lights turn off
I gotta face the truth
Even though I try all day (I try)
I try all day (I try)
Not to think of you

Every time I close my eyes I see your face
And it doesn't matter just how hard I try I can't escape
I don't' wanna fall asleep ('cause I know)
That I'll see you in my dreams (all night long)
I don't wanna fall asleep ('cause I know)
That I'll see you in my dreams (all night long)
I don't wanna fall asleep

I know eventually that I'm gonna be okay
(But right now I'll do almost anything)
Just to go a day without seeing your face
('Cause the memories are just killing me)
But I guess I gotta take it one step at a time
When I close my eyes I'll be hoping tonight
That I'm gonna keep you right out of my mind, out of my mind

Every time I close my eyes I see your face
And it doesn't matter just how hard I try I can't escape
I don't' wanna fall asleep ('cause I know)
That I'll see you in my dreams (all night long)
I don't wanna fall asleep ('cause I know)
That I'll see you in my dreams (all night long)
I don't wanna fall asleep
