🎵Close My Eyes 🎵

(Verse 1)

The dust on my window sill has a story to tell

Of the years that slipped by in a silent spell

I found an old photograph, faded and torn

From a different lifetime, another morn’

The world kept on spinning, the seasons rolled on

While I lived in the shadow of what we had that's now gone

I didn't reach out, and you didn't call

We built up a fortress and watched it fall.

(Chorus)

I just closed my eyes and thought of our love

And the sun broke through clouds that were hanging above

It felt just like yesterday, warm and so bright

Then I opened my eyes to the empty night,

So much time has passed since we touched,

So much time wasted... loving too much.

so much time wasted, and nothing to show

Just the memories of the places we used to go.

(Verse 2)

I counted the miles by the regrets I kept

In the quiet of rooms where I mostly wept

You guarded your pride like a precious stone

And traded our future to live alone

If I could rewind it, if I had the key

I'd break down the mental walls that were keeping you away from me

I’d tell you I'm sorry for playing the part

Of the stranger who broke his own beating heart.

(Chorus)

I just closed my eyes and thought of our love

And the sun broke through clouds that were hanging above

It felt just like yesterday, warm and so bright

Then I opened my eyes to the empty night,

So much time has passed since we touched,

So much time wasted... loving too much.

so much time wasted, and nothing to show

Just the memories of the places we used to go.

(Bridge)

They say that time heals every wound in the end

And maybe it does for the hearts that can mend

But healing just means you remember the pain

Without feeling the wetness of yesterday’s rain

And God, it’s a unbearable cost

To tally the years and the moments we lost...

(Chorus)

When I just closed my eyes and thought of our love,

For a second, I thought we were soaring above.

It felt just like yesterday, magic and bright,

Then I opened my eyes to the cold, dark night.

So much time has passed since we touched,

So much time wasted... loving too much.

So much time wasted, and nowhere to go

With the memories of the places we used to go.

(Outro)

Just closed my eyes...

Just for a second.

So much time.

So much time wasted.

Just a dream in the dark.
