When You Closed Your Eyes

I thought you’d always be there,

so I stopped looking to see.

You slipped out quiet,

while I was busy being me.

(“you’re gone…”)

I said it didn’t matter —

like truth was just a line.

You caught me in my comfort,

I crossed that final sign.

Now I scroll through what’s left,

of the love I burned away,

your silence hits like thunder,

I’ve got nothing left to say.

You gave me every warning,

I played blind every time.

Now I see the wreckage,

and it’s written in your eyes.

When you closed your eyes —

that’s when I saw it clear.

Every lie I told built the walls you disappeared.

Now I’m standing where you stood,

and it’s colder than I feared.

You closed your eyes —

and I’m still here.

You said you were tired, I didn’t hear,

you said “I’m done,” I called it fear.

I thought love could bend, not break,

I kept taking, what’d you expect to take?

Now I talk to your absence —

it’s the only thing that stays.

I lost the fight I didn’t see,

I learned the hard way.

The mirror shows the damage,

I never meant this end.

But meaning doesn’t matter,

when you’ve lost your only friend.

When you closed your eyes —

that’s when I saw it clear.

Every word I threw still echoes in my ear.

Now I’m standing in the dark,

haunted by your name.

You closed your eyes —

and I took the blame.

Now you see me — too late,

your voice still vibrates in the empty space.

I’d give the world to rewind that day,

but you’re already walking away.

(“too late… too late…”)

When you closed your eyes —

you freed yourself from me.

And I finally saw the truth I refused to see.

Now your silence screams my crime,

and I’m stuck in my own lie.

You closed your eyes…

and said goodbye.

(“I see you now…”)
