I'll Close My Eyes

Who can a man
Lie next to a woman
A woman who loves him
And still feel alone
There was a day
I lit up your whole world
Now the sun’s hanging low
And the sky is growing colder
I’ll close my eyes
Pretend this ain’t happening
I’ll close my eyes
Those tail lights I’ll never see
I just can’t bear to see this house empty
As empty as the whole in my chest
Where my heart used to be
I’ll close my eyes
So I don’t have to watch you leave
You left your ring
On the dining room table
You come home late
We don’t even fight
Once we were lovers
Now I hardly know you
You turn down the light
Night after night
I lay by your side
I’ll close my eyes
Pretend this ain’t happening
I’ll close my eyes
Those tail lights I’ll never see
I just can’t bear to see this house empty
As empty as the whole in my chest
Where my heart used to be
I’ll close my eyes
So I don’t have to watch you leave
