Hold me throughout the night
And kiss my forehead softly
Blot out this loneliness inside
Til I can see the morning light

Your arms are my protection
From the world outside my door
Your lips can kiss away my pain
And erase all that was before

But I am not defined by you
My spirit flies alone
Yet lands on your unwavering chest
When night does see me home

I do not love you, this I know
Nor do you feel for me
We lie beneath these blankets, close
Until summer sets us free

Can you tell that I am broken?
My heart is beaten down and bare
This memory of love won't leave
So I am forced to stare

Into this pair of sweet green eyes
That will help me bide my time
They look upon my body
But will never see inside.

Night time silence Reminds me of all our sad goodbyes In darkness, my heart can feel It is raw It is red And it's blood streaming down my face I lie in pain under a midnight sky Knowing you lie under the same moon tonight When did the silence intrude? When did your heart harden to the thought of me? When did we become like strangers walking briskly away in different strides? If I should fall under the midnight sky tonight, would you go down into the depths of this darkened soul to save me? Would you lose your life to save mine? Would you take these tears and shed them from your own eyes? Would you hear my words and listen to truth? Or seek out faults to expose them? When did we become such enemies And allow silence to rule our hearts When did you ever say goodbye and kiss my lips farewell?
