I know he knows I'm dead
So why don't he close my eyes?
'Cause as long as they stay open
I can see where my heart lies

It's buried at his feet
And when he steps on it, it cries
Everybody knows I'm dead
So why don't they close my eyes?

My blue eyes are open wide
And I can see her take my place
I'm numb, still I can feel the dirt
He's throwin' in my face

He was every breath I breathed
So how could I survive?
Everybody knows I'm dead
So why don't they close my eyes?

My blue eyes are open wide
And I can see her take my place
I'm numb, still I can feel the dirt
He's throwin' in my face

He was every breath I breathed
So how could I survive?
Everybody knows I'm dead
So why don't they close my eyes?
