[Bassline]
[Verse 1]
Heard that you care
But I don't know
So I don’t even allow myself to think so
Coz maybe I've been let down
One too many times before
Things you're saying
I don’t believe
By pretending things aren't real life doesn't touch me
Anything I don't want to see does not exist
[Chorus]
Closing my mind
Closing my mind
Believing half of what you see
And none of what you hear is easy
Closing my mind
Close it and throw away the key
[Verse 2]
As I lie awake in my bed
I can feel the silence taking shape in my head
It's too late for anyone to communicate
I had some good friends lost on the way
Who would listen but not hear the words that I said
So now I go on living as if the world was dead
[Chorus]
Closing my mind
Closing my mind
Believing half of what you see
And none of what you hear is easy
Closing my mind
Close it and throw away the key
[Chorus]
I'm closing my mind
Closing my mind
Believing half of what you see
And none of what you hear is easy
Closing my mind
Close it and throw away the key
[Keyboards solo]
[Verse 3]
As I lie awake in my bed
I can feel the silence taking shape in my head
It's much too late for anyone to communicate
Once had some good friends lost on the way
Who would listen but not hear the things that I said
So now I go on living as if the world was dead
(Na-na-na-na-na-na)
[Chorus]
Closing my mind
Closing my mind
Believing half of what you see
And none of what you hear is easy
Closing my mind
Close it and throwin' away the key
[Chorus]
I’m closing my mind
Closing my mind
Believing half of what you see
And none of what you hear is easy
Closing my mind
Close it and throwin’ away the key
[Chorus: David Grant, Chris Porter, David Grant, & Simon Hanhart]
Yeah I'm closing my mind
Throwin’ away the key
And I'm throwing away the key
Throwin' away the key
So leave me be
Throwin' away the key
Closing my mind and I’m throwing away the key
Talk to no one, no one talk to me
Throwin' away the key
Closing my mind and I'm throwing away the key
Throwin' away the key
Closing my mind and I'm throwing away the key
I'm getting [?]
Throwin' away the key
My mind is alright coz it's
Throwin' away the key
And I'm keeping it to myself
Throwin' away the key
Closing my mind and I'm throwing away the key
[?] without me [?]
Throwin' away the key
[?]
Throwin' away the key
Closing my mind and I'm throwing away the key
Oo-ooooooooh
[Outro]
Throwin' away the key
Throwin' away the key
Throwin' away the key
Closing my mind and I'm throwing away the key
