Lyrics:

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

(Chorus)
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 is 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

(Chorus Repeat)

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...Ohh...

I know I've been so hard to you
I know I've told you lies
If I could have just one more wish
I'd wipe the cobwebs from my eyes

(Chorus Repeat)

Close your eyes
Close your eyes
You gotta close you eyes for me

Enjoy.
