How can I see when my eyes are closed?

How can you be so far away and already wanna go?

How can we talk when our mouths are closed?

And I want you to know I can't fix what you have broke

Close my eyes and go to sleep (woah-woah-oh-oh)

You're the last thing, the last thing that I see

I had a thousand words to say

You just chose to walk away

Are you happy now you're free?

(woah-woah-oh-oh)

You gave me your heart

And took it back from me

Now I've seen the light of day

Boy, you don't mean shit to me

How can we write when the ink is gone?

Our love's an empty page that you've never written on

How can we be what we used to be?

Was it all just make-believe when my heart was on my sleeve

Close my eyes and go to sleep (woah-woah-oh-oh)

You're the last thing, the last thing that I see

I had a thousand words to say

But you just chose to walk away

And are you happy now you're free?

(woah-woah-oh-oh)

You gave me your heart

And took it back from me

Now I've seen the light of day

Boy, you don't mean shit to me

Our love's a postcard on its way heading towards, no destiny

Our love's a postcard on its way heading towards, no destiny

Our love's a postcard on its way heading towards, no destiny

Our love's a postcard on its way heading towards, no destiny

Close my eyes and go to sleep (woah-woah-oh-oh)

You're the last thing, the last thing that I see

I had a thousand words to say

You just chose to walk away

And are you happy now you're free?

(Woah-woah-oh-oh)

You gave me your heart

And took it back from me

Now I've seen the light of day

Boy, you don't mean shit to me
