Open Your Eyes

Bonnie McKee

Day after day all I saw was you

And the sky came a tumbling 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, no, no, no



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 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 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 (not anymore), no, no



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
