I close my eyes to hide from the pain I go to sleep and hope I don't dream I try to escape this agonizing life I try to hide from the tears I try to run away from myself I wish I could hide from the girl in the mirror She brings me more pain then I can bear I wish I could run away from her May she never hurt me again I close my eyes and hope I die I close my eyes and wish I'll wake up as someone else I close my eyes and wish it all away I wish the pain to leave I'm closing my eyes I'm wishing and praying Take the pain away Let me see the light Let me die tonight Let me see tomorrow as someone else I hate the darkness when I close my eyes But I love the way I can hide I can hide from the pain I can hide from the agony I can hide from the loneliness So I close my eyes and pray for no nightmares I just want to escape Let it be peaceful Let me hide away
