You would not believe your eyes
If I took off my disguise,
Showed you the real beneath the mask
Understanding me is all I ask.
It's hard to say I'd rather stay awake
When I'm asleep,
Because I can avoid the mistakes
The problems that make me ache
How much more can I take?
I am floating away
Up to the darkening gray
Waiting everyday with such dismay
Oh, how I pray
That the days will get brighter
In this bleak future,
My chest gets tighter
Pulling at the heart strings
Making the angels sing,
Goodnight...Goodbye,
Floating up high to the sky,
When I wiped the tears from my eyes
The warm water took me by surprise,
I woke up next to the ocean side
And no matter how hard I tried,
I couldn't keep inside what I had denied,
Goodnight...Sleep tight
Do what you know is right
Hold close into the night
And let your secrets be known
To the friends unknown.
I can finally see,
That you were right there beside me,
Guiding me through it all
Listening to my plea
Hearing me.
Goodnight...Goodbye,
Floating up high to the sky,
When I wiped the tears from my eyes
The warm water took me by surprise,
I woke up next to the ocean side
And no matter how hard I tried,
I couldn't keep inside what I had denied.
