Open Your Eyes Lyrics

day after day

all I saw was you

and the sky came a tumblin' down

smoke in the air

all I want is truth

I am a light that's aglow, that's alive

that's a warm place in your heart

you kept turning me on and off

'til I went out and you were standing shivering in the dark



open your eyes

and see me leaving

closing the door

I won't think twice

when you come pleaing

not ANYMORE



hope was a dream that I had of you

in the soft warm slumber of dawn

I must keep in mind

that reality can be painful if neglected too long

I am aware

that I will soon be released

to the mercy of a concrete jungle

i thought that i could glide right in

but instead

it's over loneliness and pride i stumble



open your eyes

and see me leaving

closing the door

I won't think twice

when you come pleaing

not ANYMORE



open your eyes

and see that I am not afraid of saying goodbye

your strikes are up, I'm gone

so don't even try

'cause I'm telling you right now

that I'm a free young woman

and I gotta be movin' on



once I was lost in my strife

and getting you off was my life

I was in doubt, now I know

that getting rid of you was all I needed to grow

once I was lost, now I'm found

with my adidas on the ground

once I was blind, now I see

the negative effect that you were having on me



open your eyes

and see me leaving

closing the door

I won't think twice

when you come pleaing

not ANYMORE



you're not the man

that I remember

tell me your name

cold empty seat

that long November

you never came



open your eyes

and see me

see me leaving
