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 truth is it won't Down the line it will be back again. And 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. Bu tthat's the way I wanna be, that's the way I wanna be...
