Close Your Eyes
Bonnie Lyrics

I never knew that I was standing in the rain
My mind was so preoccupied with thoughts of you that I did not even notice the rain falling on me.

My mind was wandering back to you again
My thoughts keep returning to you no matter how hard I try to distract myself.

There's a thousand miles between us
We are separated by great physical distance.

Though it feels a thousand more 'cause tonight I sleep alone
Being apart from you feels much worse than it actually is, especially when I am alone at night.

I never realized how time could drag on
Time seems to pass by slowly and painfully now that you are not with me.

I never thought about how long the days are
The days feel so long and empty without you to share them with.

And I never heard my heart beat
I did not fully appreciate the rhythm and intensity of my love for you until I was without you.

Till the first night you were gone then I knew I was alone
The first time I spent a night without you made be realize how much I depend on and miss you.

When I close my eyes and I think of you
You are always on my mind, even when my eyes are shut tight.

I don't feel so bad, I don't feel so blue
Focusing on memories of you during difficult times makes me feel less sad and lonely.

When I need you here, all I do
When I crave your presence, I close my eyes and imagine you are here with me.

I close my eyes and I'm with you
Imagining being with you is enough to transport me to a happier mental state.

I could see miracles, they wouldn't mean a thing
I may see incredible sights, but they would all pale in comparison to the feeling of being with you.

I don't want memories, if you're not part of them
Memories alone are not enough for me, I need you to be in them for them to be truly meaningful.

Any photograph without you would never grace my wall
I would never want to display an image that does not contain you, as you are the most important part of my life.

I don't wanna stand alone
Being alone is not something I want to tolerate for any length of time.

Then I see you there and I visualize
Imagining being with you is so vivid that it feels like a real experience.

Both of us touching, both of us searching
I imagine us reaching out for each other, seeking comfort and connection.

Then I hold you here, I can feel you now
The sensation of holding you feels so real and intense in my imagination.

I'm lost in the moment, lost in the moment
Focusing on the thought of being with you erases all other thoughts from my mind.

And I can't let go 'cause I won't let go
The thought of being without you is so painful that I refuse to give it any space in my mind.

I will keep holding, I will keep holding
I will cling to the thought of being with you as long as possible, even if it is only in my mind.

When I clear my eyes to wipe away my tears
When I try to dismiss negative emotions, such as crying, the reality of being without you is undeniable.

Everything shatters, everything's gone
The thought of being alone without you feels like everything in my life is crumbling away.
