Close your eyes, my love, because your sight will blind then never mind you
And look inside, my love, and find the heart that's never far behind you
Because love its seams are bursting thread by thread
But love it seems only survives under disguise of things unsaid
So close your eyes, close your eyes, close your eyes...
And brave this life, my love, and have all of mine once you find yourself inside and realize there's
Nothing to hide, my love, it's just trading sight for the night in search of
Love that needs no excuse for being true
And love that never sees but is the thief of the heart inside of you
Love it speaks more than we can say
But love will be the death and the life of you
Do you find peace of mind reading in between the lines of empty words you've made your home?
Do you bleed to believe this broken heart you'll never need, taking empty for alone
Can you keep this up and for how long
And will it be enough to feel you've won
