so I lay sleeping with eyes unafraid
cause you’re right next to me chasing fear away
and for the moment my heart finds it rest
but it seems dreaming comes easiest
it’s something you refuse to show
left in fear between yes and no
just give it up, give it up
and come on home
I’ve given every reason to want me close
I never meant to ruin all you know
still I can’t stand to see you go
so you said this time I’ll never leave
cause you’ve run back here more times than I can think and for the moment I believe it true
maybe this time love will make you the fool
it’s something I don’t think you know
stuck in place and torn where to go
lay your head to bed, wake up your heart
don’t let go, don’t let go
the smile you held when we said goodbye
give it up
the lie you held me on through the night
give it up
the hope you hold in my endless sky
give it up
cause I’m leaving
cause you were everything to me
I’ve given every reason to want me close
I never meant to ruin all you know
still I can’t stand to see you go
I’ve given every reason to want me close
I never meant to ruin all you know
still I don’t want to see you go
