open your eyes

Bonnie Mckee

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
