Close Your Eyes

Makeup on, you're a mess That's not enough, put on a dress Hide your sorrow, you are blessed There's no time for rest Do not wait, mold the clay Mold it til you're old and grey Act this way, life's a play No room for mistakes You close your eyes and tell yourself to breathe Although you bleed, you have all you need Lose yourself, and your life's guaranteed Convince yourself what they're saying is true That the world doesn't revolve around you Darling, you look a fright Did you sleep at all last night There's no reason you should cry Together til we die Pictures hang in the light You were beautiful in white Snuffing out all your fire Til all your dreams expire You close your eyes, tell yourself that it's enough Even though it's not what you were dreaming of Play make believe, pretend it's really love You've prepared for this all of your life Be a good little wife Be a good little wife
