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

would 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

like a dagger you stick me in the heart

and taste the blood from my veins

and when we sleep would you shelter me

in your warm and darkened grave

if i close my eyes forever

would it all remain unchanged

if i close my eyes forever

would 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

would it all remain unchanged

if i close my eyes forever

would it all remain the same

[bracketed]

close your eyes close your eyes

you gotta close your eyes for me
