I'll Close My Eyes - Julie Roberts

Who 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 hanging low

And the sky is growing colder

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 whole 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 dining room table

You come home late

We don’t even fight

Once we were lovers

Now I hardly know you

You turn down the light

Night after night

I lay by your side

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 whole in my chest

Where my heart used to be

I’ll close my eyes

So I don’t have to watch you leave
