"Open Your Eyes"
Day after dayAll 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
