Dart to my Heart

I couldn't go to sleep last night
You lingered on my mind
Unending thoughts rushed through my head
A peaceful dream I could not find

Memories of you danced on the ceiling
Flashbacks of us played on the wall
My heart pounded in my ears
Each time I closed my eyes, it felt like I was going to fall

Choking gasps of air
I cannot breathe
While I tell you this
Promise me you won't leave

Step by step
Your retreating, your fleeing
Out of my comfort zone
Here I am exposed, I'm seeing

Open eyes drown in pools of tears
Catch them if you can
Before they flood our lives
You just pack your luggage and ran

Choking gasps of air
I cannot breathe
While I tell you this
Promise me you won't leave

Listen to the drums
Of a beating living heart
You're running from my face
You can't escape from the screaming dart

The dart of a lost soul
Chasing you with its posion jealousy
You dodge its attack
The dark spins off to the sea

Are you as lost and confused as I am?
It's okay because you will get by
Follow your heart
All those thoughts should die

Thoughts of painful cries
Of pictures from our past
Of sad times that I can't forget
I can't make them last

Choking gasps of air
I cannot breathe
While I tell you this
Promise me you won't leave

You are doing the right thing
Letting go will do you just fine
I'm proud of you
See this painted smile of mine?

Like a shower of rain
Love will go and come
You're in on a new journey
Look where you are hearing this from

Choking gasps of air
I cannot breathe
While I tell you this
Promise me you won't leave

Like the dart off in the sea
I'm following right behind
Let happy thoughts fill your happy days
Just keep me on your mind

Choking gasps of air
I can't breathe
Look I told this
Promise me you won't leave
Promise me you won't leave
