I Close My Eyes

I don't want to see the truth, so I simply close my eyes.
It's easier to believe in you, even accepting all your lies.
You'll keep me hanging on the edge, like I'm paralysed. 
The fear of falling keeps me close, so close by your side.

I don't want to see the truth, so I simply close my eyes.
Like a ship on a stormy sea, up and down the waves we ride.
When friends warn me of the danger, I still don't realise.
The hold you have over me, will be my own demise.

I don't want to see the truth, so I simply close my eyes.
