Cold Shut Eyes
all my lifeI've been looking for
someone just like you
i never thought you'd be
right in front of me
why didn't i see you
why didn't i open my eyes
you've been there
i just never saw you
why couldn't i see
the beauty you held
the strength you have
right in front of
my cold shut eyes
why wouldn't they let me see
when i could feel you
my cold shut eyes
wouldn't let me see you
i knew you were there
i felt your breath
upon my face
but i couldn't get passed
the cold that
held my eyes shut
i wanted to open them
but no success
my cold shut eyes
refused to open
the ice wouldn't
let them open
the cold lids
wouldn't open or warm
let me hold you close
keep you near
and i know
so let the warmth
of your breath
brush acrossed my eyes
let the cold fade away
and I'll be able
to open
my cold shut eyes
