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

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? Oh yeah

Close your eyes

Close your eyes

You gotta close your eyes for me
