close my eyes forever

baby

i get so scared inside

and i don't really understand

is it love that's on my mind

or is it fantasy?

heaven

is in the palm of my hand

and it's waiting here for you

what am i supposed to do with a childhood tragedy?

if i close my eyes forever

will it all remain unchanged?

if i close my eyes forever

will it all remain the same?

sometimes

it's hard to hold on

so hard to hold on to my dreams

it isn't always what it seems

when you're face to face with me

you're like a dagger

and stick me in the heart

and taste the blood from my blade

and when we sleep

would you shelter me

in your warm and darkened grave?

if i close my eyes forever

will it all remain unchanged?

if i close my eyes forever

will it all remain the same?

will you ever take me?

no

i just can't take the pain

but would you ever trust me?

no

i'll never feel the same

oh

i know i've been so hard on you

i know i've told you lies

if i could have just one more wish

i'd wipe the cobwebs from my eyes

if i close my eyes forever

will it all remain unchanged?

if i close my eyes forever

will it all remain the same?

close your eyes

close your eyes

close your eyes for me
