Closed eyes for the last time* And I was sure I was ready for this. I was so ready for this, but I was wrong. Closed eyes for the last time. And I've seen the best of you And I've seen the worst of you, Yet when I wake to find blood in your eyes it brings me to my knees. When I wake to find blood in your eyes it brings me to my knees (to my knees). And I was sure I was ready for this; I was so ready for this. Frail hands upon white sheets, closed eyes, eternal sleep. All life lost to the bottle (only a matter of time). But you were dead long before you died. Closed eyes for the last time. You were dead long before you died. As a child your eyes brought me solace; Now a man I find the mother I knew has faded. The mother I knew has faded. And when she left us it changed us all (this place has lost all colour) This place has lost all colour. Upon my shoulders I carried you home. And when I wake to find blood in your eyes I brings me to my knees. This brought me to my knees.
