Open Your Eyes
[Verse 1]
I should've left but now I've stayed too long
And the picture in my head is getting lost
What have I done? I've caught it up in your mind
Have you forgotten how you used to shine?
[Pre-Chorus 1]
How much can you take?
How many mistakes must I make
Before you break?
[Chorus]
What do you see when you look at me?
I'll never be what you need
So open your eyes to see who I am tonight
How many nights? How many days?
Can you pretend to look away
So open your eyes to see who I am tonight
[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
[Verse 2]
You should've seen the rhythm in my face
But you are holding me too tight in your embrace
I should've said what I've always known
But I was too afraid to be alone
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I want you to stay
But you won't find me standing in your way
Not today
[Chorus]
What do you see when you look at me?
I'll never be what you need
So open your eyes to see who I am tonight
How many nights? How many days?
Can you pretend to look away
So open your eyes to see who I am tonight
[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (ooh)
Oh-oh-oh-oh (oh), oh-oh-oh-oh (oh)
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (oh), oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
