Closed Eyes

Closed eyes for the last time;
And i was sure i was ready for this.
I was so ready for this, but i was wrong.

Closed eyes for the last time.
And i've seen the best of you
And i've seen the worst of you,
Yet when i wake to find blood in your eyes it brings me to my knees.
When i wake to find blood in your eyes it brings me to my knees (to my knees).

And i was sure i was ready for this;
I was so ready for this.
Frail hands apon white sheets, closed eyes -eternal sleep.
All life lost to the bottle (only a matter of time).
But you were dead long before you died.

Closed eyes for the last time.
You were dead long before you died.
As a child your eyes brought me solace;
Now a man i find the mother i knew has faded.
The mother i knew has faded.
And when she left us it changed us all (this place has lost all colour)
This place has lost all colour.

Upon my shoulders i carried you home.

And when i wake to find blood in your eyes
It brings me to my knees.
This brought me to my knees.
