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 thinking about what we could have done
|
|
Say it's not there and maybe it will go away
|
But the thruth is it won't
|
Down the line it will be back again
|
|
Anf rather than examine it
|
I think I better handle it
|
What good is it to close my eyes
|
Or tell myself another lie
|
Gotta get along somehow and sometimes it's easier
|
|
Sometimes 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...
