Tom Odell - When I Close My Eyes

The house, it feels so empty
Cause now I live alone
The kid next door keeps asking me when you’re gonna tell him
Tell him you’ve gone home

When I close my eyes
You’re standing there in front of me
When I close my eyes
It’s almost like it used to be
Then I realise you’re just a ghost
Maybe at most a fragment of my mind
When I close my eyes

The days can be so lonely
So I stay out all night
My friends say take it slowly
I tell them that I’ll try But when I close my eyes
You’re standing there in front of me
When I close my eyes
It’s almost like it used to be
Then I realise you’re just a ghost
Maybe at most a fragment of my mind
When I close my eyes

Every thought I think
It cuts me like a knife
I just want to bring
Bring you back to life
Tonight a sun will set
Tomorrow it will rise
All that I’ve got left is

When I close my eyes
You’re standing there in front of me
When I close my eyes
It’s almost like it used to be
Then I realise you’re just a ghost
Maybe at most a fragment of my mind
When I close my eyes
When I close my eyes
When I close my eyes
