I'll never fall asleep again...
'cause every time I do..
your eyes, they look at me...
they won't go away no matter what I do

I'll never sleep again
I just can't afford that risk
I'll never lay to dream girl
I just can't take that risk

Every time I close my eyes, you come to mind
and if it'd stop at that, maybe I'd be alright
It's never enough and it's so unkind
when I dream we stand eye to eye

I just can't afford to go that way again
My heart it ain't strong enough
To carry that weight again
I just can't let you in,
because I can't get you out

You live in my heart and soul
and surface before the dawn
A sweet torment
A Kiss and then you're gone

No I just can't afford that touch, that velvet hidden thought
Then wake here alone
I just can't afford that dream,
that ends with the dawn
No I can't sleep at night
I won't do myself like that
I can't afford that dream anymore
I can't live thinking that you're home
I'd rather walk the streets dead
knowing that you're gone
