I'll Close My Eyes Lyrics

How 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 hangin' low
And the sky's growin' colder

(Chorus)
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 hole 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 dinin' room table
You come home late
You don't even find
Once we were lovers
Now I hardly know you
You turn down the light
Night after night
I lay by your side
And...

(Repeat Chorus)

I just can't bear
To see this house empty
As empty as the hole in my chest
Where my heart used to be
I'll close my eyes
So I don't have to watch you leave

So I don't have to watch you leave
