Close My Eyes lyrics

If I could just close my eyes

See just what I wanted to see

It would be much easier to live this life

Thinkin' that it never really comes down to me

Sometimes I wanna close my eyes

So I can't see time while it's slippin' away

We're all walkin' on a very fine line

'Til 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, will be back again

If we could all close our eyes

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 is it won't

Down the line, will be back again

It will be back again

Rather than examine it

Maybe I should handle it

What good is it, to close my eyes

And tell myself another lie

I gotta get along somehow and sometimes the only way

Is to close my eyes

Somtimes I have to close my eyes

Let you think, you can make a fool out of me

Guess I set myself up each time

By trustin' you, so openly

That's the way I wanna be

That's the way I wanna be

Sometimes I have to close my eyes
