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   (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   (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   Yeah, that's the way I wanna be   That's the way I wanna be   Woo      Somtimes I have to close my eyes
