[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
