Текст песни Close My Eyes (feat. Michael Rose) - The Wailers , Mykal Rose

If I could just close my eyes
See just what I wanted to see
It would be, much easier to live this life
Thinkin' that it never really comes down to me

Sometimes I have to close my eyes
So I can't see time, while it's slippin' away
We're all walkin' on a very fine line
'til reality is somehow thrown in our face

Bury it deep, and maybe you won't feel the pain
But you can't let it go (let it go)
Down the line, we'll be back again

If we could all close our eyes
All the things, we know that are wrong (know are wrong)
We could live, selfishly protected lives
Not even think about what we could have done (what could we've done)

Say it's not there, and maybe it will go away (go away, go away)
But the truth is it won't
Down the line, we'll be back again
It will be back again
Rather than examine it
Maybe I should handle it
What good is it, to close my eyes
And tell myself another lie (another lie)
Gotta get along somehow, and sometimes the only way (only way)
Is to close my eyes

Sometimes I have to close my eyes (close my eyes)
And let you think, you can make a fool out of me
I guess I set myself up, each time (set myself, set myself)
By trustin' you so openly

That's the way I wanna be (way I wanna be)
That's the way I wanna be (yeah I wanna be)
Sometimes I got to close my eyes (close my eyes)
That's the way I wanna be
I wanna close my eyes (that is what I)
Close my eyes
