If I Close My Eyes

Hey – how are you doing?
I hope everything’s ok
Girl, you know how much I hate to text you
This is the sixth one today

You know how much I love you
It’s getting so hard to keep this up
I need to know – are the rumors true
Please, just let me know what’s up

Your silence speaks so loudly
I hope what they’re saying isn’t true
They keep blowing up my phone
Please girl, tell me what to do

If I close my eyes
Maybe they can’t see
How much I love you
And how your silence is killing me

Sometimes it’s hard to let go
I can’t face reality
So If I close my eyes
Maybe they can’t see

I ran into John the other day
He said he saw you with someone new
He said you looked so happy
I’m sure it’s just an old friend from back in school

Again, girl I love you so much
But it’s getting harder each and every day
Pretending and denying
That our love will never fade

If I close my eyes
Maybe they can’t see
How much I love you
And how your silence is killing me

Sometimes it’s hard to let go
I can’t face reality
So If I close my eyes
Maybe they can’t see

[Bridge]

Ok I get it girl
What they were saying was the true
You were just playing me
I was blind to all the proof

So ill move on
And live to love another day
With my eyes wide open
True love will light the way

Once I was lost - blind
But now I can see
Because your love
Was killing me

Now I see clearly
I’m facing reality
I’ve opened my eyes
And now I see

Yea I’ve opened my eyes

And now I see
