Scared to Sleep

Screaming, I don't understand these things.
It seems maybe if I can make it through this pain,
I'll finally be able to figure my own name.
You treated me like I was nothing more than a game
I thought I had nothing to lose, and everything to gain.

You always asked why I only wanted to hold your hand,
You made me able to stand, and to become the man
that I wanted to be, before I could truly conceive
That you were only trying to destroy me.

Too scared to sleep..
your eyes have always bared my soul.
too scared to sleep...
your eyes won't let me go.

And now, noncommittal to who I am,
My life was led like nothing more than a sham.
Fingers tightened around reality
What good came of it?
It only betrayed me.

Too scared to sleep,
closing my eyes, only seems to open yours

Too scared to sleep..
your eyes have always bared my soul.
too scared to sleep...
your eyes won't let me go.

With everything else fading around me,
your words always surrounded me.
I know they're only echo's,
but they still haven't lost the meaning.

I lost everything, and when I had nothing more to give...
You took my heart, and left me behind.

Too scared to sleep,
when that darkness surrounds me,
eyes are the only thing I can see.
Too scared to sleep,
your voice sounds as if it's my own,
driving me beyond insanity.
I could of never known I'd be
too scared to sleep,
because it contains nothing but my memories.
