Close My Eyes Lyrics

Can't see faith through the tears
Of my swollen eyes I try to dry
I pretend it's not as bad as it seems
What a lie

How can we be so blind
Every time a child dies?
People are starving, rain forests are falling
The bombs are dropping from the sky

I don't know why
(It sticks in my head)
I close my eyes
(And it hurts me so bad)
I don't know why
(It sticks in my head)
I close my eyes
(I close my eyes)
(I close my eyes)

I look away from this misery
And I hope the problem will disappear
But it still hurts me every time a child dies

It's like a knife you stab in my heart
And twist it, twist it, twist it around

I don't know why
(It sticks in my head)
I close my eyes
(And it hurts me so bad)
I don't know why
(It sticks in my head)
I close my eyes
(I close my eyes)

I don't know why
(It sticks in my head)
I close my eyes
(And it hurts me so bad)
I don't know why
(It sticks in my head)
I close my eyes
(I close my eyes)

I close my eyes
(I close my eyes)
I close my eyes
(I close my eyes)
I close my eyes
(I close my eyes)
I close my eyes
(I close my eyes)

Can't see faith through the tears
Of my swollen eyes I try to dry
I pretend it's not as bad as it seems
What a lie

How can we be so blind
Every time a child dies?
People are starving, rain forests are falling
The bombs are dropping from the sky

I don't know why
(It sticks in my head)
I close my eyes
(And it hurts me so bad)
I don't know why
(It sticks in my head)
I close my eyes
(I close my eyes)
(I close my eyes)

I look away from this misery
And I hope the problem will disappear
But it still hurts me every time a child dies

It's like a knife you stab in my heart
And twist it, twist it, twist it around

I don't know why
(It sticks in my head)
I close my eyes
(And it hurts me so bad)
I don't know why
(It sticks in my head)
I close my eyes
(I close my eyes)

I don't know why
(It sticks in my head)
I close my eyes
(And it hurts me so bad)
I don't know why
(It sticks in my head)
I close my eyes
(I close my eyes)

I close my eyes
(I close my eyes)
I close my eyes
(I close my eyes)
I close my eyes
(I close my eyes)
I close my eyes
(I close my eyes)

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
