Close My Eyes

If i could just close my eyes

See just what i wanted to see

It would be much easier to live this life,

Thinking that it never really comes down to me



Sometimes i wanna close my eyes

So i can't see time while it's slipping away

We're all walking a very fine line,

Until reality is somehow thrown in our face



Bury it deep and maybe you won't feel the pain

But you can't let it go

Down the line it will be back again



If we could all close our eyes

To all the things we know that are wrong

We could live selfishly protected lives

Not even think about what we could have done



Say it's not there and maybe it will go away

But the truth won't

Down the line it will be back again

And rather than exaime it

I think we maybe i should handle it

What good is it to close my eyes

Or tell myself another lie

Gotta get along somehow and sometimes the only way is to close my eyes

Somtimes i have to close my eyes

And let you think you can make a fool out of me

But i set myself up each time

By trusting you so openly



But that's the way i wanna be, that's the way i wanna be
