I don’t want to sleep

Because I might wake up with you gone.

And I miss you.

This ache in my chest,

Is the only way I know you’re real.

So let me stay awake.

So let me watch you sleep,

For when you wake,

You’ll know I’m real too.

I want to never let you leave,

Or watch you go.

So I turn my back and hope this hurt will heal with your return.

So let me stay awake.

So let me love you until I’m black and blue,

Because with the way I feel,

I will fall head over heels.

And if you fall with me,

I want to be on the floor to catch you.

So just let me stay awake.
