Everytime I close my eyes

by Kim   Mar 28, 2005


I can put away your pictures
wipe you from my wall.
I can even put up something
different to fill the empty space.
I can put your heart away
in a box in the corner.
And when people ask how
you're doing I can tell them
I don't know I haven't answered your call.
I can give it all my effort
not to look at you that way
and not kiss your bruises every time you fall.
No matter how hard I try
I've found the fault in my plan
even though it's hard I can let
go of your hand, but every time
I close my eyes I hear your voice
saying "Here I am"
Standing in my memory every time
I close my eyes there you are
reaching out your hand.
I can say we're over a million times
in my head. I can put off the illusion
that I'm doing fine,
but every time I close my eyes
there you are.
Every time I close my eyes
there we are.
I can pretend that I don't feel it
but sometimes it just hurts to breathe.
I can pretend that it don't hurt
but I'm still wishing you were here
with me.
No matter what we call it weather
its love or we're just friends
until I hold you tight in my arms
knowing you're with me all through the night.
My heart will never mend.
Baby in the end I know our love is right.
