Close My Eyes To Sleep

He Makes me happy 
but so did you 
I don't know why I can't forget you
But it's okay that's normal 
I loved you and you loved me 
you didn't beg me to stay
you acted like everything was fine

 So I don't know what to do 
your memory haunts me 
But his, the one I'm with 
Makes me happier then you did
Makes me smile more than you did. 
Makes me laugh more than you did.

 He doesn't leave mental bruises 
He doesn't hit me
He builds me up but doesn't break me down like you did 
 So why, Why do I still dream of you every time I close my eyes to sleep ?
