Close My Eyes
All Ends Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I never wanted you to know
You said you'd leave
But you never did
I's time you ment the words you said

I can't stand you're leaving
I turn around
Close my eyes
I close my eyes
'Cause I see your face everywhere
Want to forget the day that we met
Close my eyes
I close my eyes
'Cause I see your face everywhere
Want to forget
I have to move on!

Fool, I found out you still look at me with a smile
Oh, don't you need my eyes wide shut
But you'll be the one living with the pain
You gave up too easy
I turn around

Close my eyes
I close my eyes

'Cause I see your face everywhere
Want to forget the day that we met
Close my eyes
I close my eyes
'Cause I see your face everywhere
Want to forget
I have to move on!

I try how I get through this
Then I won't be no more
In stead you're leaving
You gave up too easy
I turn around

Close my eyes
I close my eyes
'Cause I see your face everywhere
Want to forget the day that we met
Close my eyes
I close my eyes
'Cause I see your face everywhere




Want to forget (In stead you're leaving)
I have to move on! (You gave up too easy)

I watched the Game Theory episode on this some time ago, and was worried this would just be a rehash. You actually touched on some things they didn't--superlative work!
