Open Your Eyes

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 thats aglow, that's alive
that's a warm place in your heart
You kept turning me on and off
till I went out and you were standing
shivering in the dark
Chorus:
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
Chorus
Open your eyes and see that I am not afraid of saying goodbye
Your strike 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 moving 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 need 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 in me.
Chorus
