Bonnie Mckee - Open Your Eyes LYRICS

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
