Close Your Eyes

Kelly Clarkson · Other Songs - Kelly Clarkson

I don't mind, waiting here,

I know you're coming even though the others laugh I hear

But I'm not one to give, we said forever so

I'm standing here I'm standing here



And I don't mind.

You would never leave me behind

If you break I'll break too

When you're lonely, I'll hold on to you

I see you closer now

But I won't give up now

I'm gonna fight, for you tonight

Close your eyes



You might fall. And I might cry

Cover the bruises

I refuse to let this tear apart our lives

Others talk, let them talk

Love isn't easy but it's worth it again you're worth again



No I don't mind, I could never leave you behind

If you break I'll break too

When you're lonely, I'll hold on to you

I see you closer now

But I won't give up now

I'm gonna fight, for you tonight

Close your eyes



And I'm, kissing you

Kiss away those fears you hold on to

And I feel it too

And if you start to fall I promise I'll go with you



No I don't mind, waiting here,

I know you're coming even though the others laugh

I hear but I'm not one to give up,

we said forever so I'm standing here I'm standing here



If you break I'll break too

When you're lonely, I'll hold on to you

I see you closer now

But I won't give up now

I'm gonna fight, for you tonight

Close your eyes



Yeah close your eyes

Close your eyes

Close your eyes
