Every thought escapes
  without leaving a trace.
Each night I lie
  and picture your face.
Never before could any
  thing haunt me this much.
My skin still
  burns from your last touch.

    Close my eyes, turn my
    face up to the stars.
    Open my shirt to
    show you all my scars.
    Shut my eyes to keep
    from going blind.
    Open my heart and
    hope that you will be kind.

Before nothing could
  keep me up at night.
Now you control
  every thought, my very sight.
I can't describe
  the sting I feel inside.
Eating away at
  me, I cannot hide.

    Close my eyes, turn my
    face up to the stars.
    Open my shirt to
    show you all my scars.
    Shut my eyes to keep
    from going blind.
    Open my heart and
    hope that you will be kind.
     Please be kind.

Going into shock
  from lack of you
Even imagining can
  no longer get me through.
Give me your hand
  so I may show the way.
Straight to my heart
  where I want you to stay
  Please stay.

    Close my eyes, turn my
    face up to the stars.
    Open my shirt to
    show you all my scars.
    Shut my eyes to keep
    from going blind.
    Open my heart and
    hope that you will be kind.
