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
