Blink

I'm hitting my legs and pounding my chest
But my eyes just want to rest.
Slapping and clapping to keep me awake,
The lids of my eyes half- closed to the day.
Now i'm on a round-the-clock watch
To keep you in sight...
Keep you from flying.
'cause i blink and you're gone.
Your soul's so bright it rivals the sun.
I blink and you're gone.
Will i find the strength to carry on?
You're like a thief, so taken with the night
You steal the breath from inside me
And i'm the victim of your flight
You always deny me...
I can't go on, this world's so cruel
If the men don't get ya then the women will.
