Deep in the depths of the night
I feel like maybe I can love again
love one who is not you
love one who treats me right.
"I can do this" I think
And I try, and I do.

So I don't say goodnight.

But my eyes get heavy
and words feel sincere
but apparently they aren't,
because daylight is near.

But I can't say goodnight.

When I wake up the next morning
I think about you, and us
and I realize that no matter hard I try
my heart will forever be
wrapped around your finger.

I don't want to say goodbye.

And I can't love anyone,
If I'm not loving you.

But I refuse to say goodbye.
