Rest My Eyes

I can’t stop thinking about you
Why do you do this to me?
You’ve captured my already wounded heart
When it was so close to being free.
Just the sight of your smile
Makes my doubt melt away
But it’s a bloody, painful cycle
That repeats each and every day.
I’m tired of never being good enough
And feeling you’re out of reach
Each step I take turns to a sprint,
But I’m suffering from fatigue.
I’m tired of forgetting my pain
Whenever I see your eyes;
How can you be so calm
And not hear my desperate cries?
Oh, love, I’m tired of constant tears
And all my indirect sorrow,
What can I do to sleep a little
So I won’t be tired tomorrow?
I need to rest my eyes awhile
‘Cause red eyes I just don’t need;
I’m so tired, I’m too exhausted
To save myself when I bleed
