Shut My Eyes
I have thoughts spinning in my head
making me believe I'm mad
and memories that just won't make peace
put my mind at ease
as a child I've been learning how
to pretend I'm doing fine
so no-one would ever ask me why
but assume I was too shy
But it's hard to slip away
It keeps getting in my way
Shut my eyes
Telling lies
Turn around
I'm safe and sound
I don't know what else to say
I don't know what else to do
I shut my eyes
to make it through
I wish there was an easy way
but accept it day by day
I thought somehow I would
forget every moment I've betrayed
as a child I've been learning now
keep a distance from my heart
and to never let anybody in
it's a game I'll never win
but it's hard to slip away
it keeps getting in my way
Shut my eyes
telling lies
turn around
I'm safe and sound
I don't know what else to say
I don't know what else to do
I shut my eyes
to make it through
It's a shadow where my heart beats
in an empty haunted house
I know I have to go back there
And face it, again
shut my eyes
telling lies
shut my eyes
telling lies
making me believe I'm mad
and memories that just won't make peace
put my mind at ease
as a child I've been learning how
to pretend I'm doing fine
so no-one would ever ask me why
but assume I was too shy
But it's hard to slip away
It keeps getting in my way
Shut my eyes
Telling lies
Turn around
I'm safe and sound
I don't know what else to say
I don't know what else to do
I shut my eyes
to make it through
I wish there was an easy way
but accept it day by day
I thought somehow I would
forget every moment I've betrayed
as a child I've been learning now
keep a distance from my heart
and to never let anybody in
it's a game I'll never win
but it's hard to slip away
it keeps getting in my way
Shut my eyes
telling lies
turn around
I'm safe and sound
I don't know what else to say
I don't know what else to do
I shut my eyes
to make it through
It's a shadow where my heart beats
in an empty haunted house
I know I have to go back there
And face it, again
shut my eyes
telling lies
shut my eyes
telling lies
