don t close your eyes

Josh Woodward

Cold hands, sore feet
You ve been walking for an hour on abandoned streets

Weak knees, and fresh scars
It s a struggle when you re losing track of who you are

The words you stole won t save your soul
They can only buy you time

Light a candle, or curse the dark
It s all the same to me
Start a fire, or drown the spark
And shake away the heat
Tell the truth or live a lie
Just don t close your eyes

Let down, and so spent
You ve been holding up the world with your good intent

Help out, like you should
It s a burden that you never really understood

But Caroline, I m doing fine
It s the others who are dying

Light a candle, or curse the dark
It s all the same to me
Start a fire, or drown the spark
And shake away the heat
Tell the truth or live a lie
Be a burden or a prize
Stick around or say goodbye
Just don t close your eyes

And you re breaking
But you re faking nothing s ever wrong
And concealing what you re feeling
Always standing strong

But you don t need
To act like you don t bleed
When you come falling down
Cuz there is no healing when you re not feeling
Anything at all
