I have thoughts spinning in my head
making me believe I'm mad
and memories that just won't make peace
put my mind at ease
as a child I've been learning how
to pretend I'm doing fine
so no-one would ever ask me why
but assume I was too shy

But it's hard to slip away
It keeps getting in my way

Shut my eyes
Telling lies
Turn around
I'm safe and sound
I don't know what else to say
I don't know what else to do
I shut my eyes
to make it through

I wish there was an easy way
but accept it day by day
I thought somehow I would
forget every moment I've betrayed
as a child I've been learning now
keep a distance from my heart
and to never let anybody in
it's a game I'll never win

but it's hard to slip away
it keeps getting in my way

Shut my eyes
telling lies
turn around
I'm safe and sound
I don't know what else to say
I don't know what else to do
I shut my eyes
to make it through

It's a shadow where my heart beats
in an empty haunted house
I know I have to go back there
And face it, again

shut my eyes
telling lies
shut my eyes
telling lies
