Kevin Sharp - If I Open My Eyes lyrics

rate me

She's packing the last of what is hers

She's leaving nothing behind

She thinks that I'm asleep

But I hear her every move

Sounds like she's made up her mind

She's as quiet as a ghost

Except for the creaking of the floor

And now the hardest

That I'll ever have to do

Is hear her walk out of that door

But if I open my eyes

I know I'll see her leaving

And the sight of that

Would make me lose control

So I'll lay here in the dark

Though it's tearing out my heart

If I were going to open my eyes

I should have done it long ago

I should have shown her how I felt

I took for granted that she knew

In my mind I though

She'd always be around

And now I just can't face the truth

But if I open my eyes

I know I'll see her leaving

And the sight of that

Would make me lose control

So I'll lay here in the dark

Though it's tearing out my heart

If I were going to open my eyes

I should have done it long ago

Any fool could have seen

The man she needed me to be

Any fool, but me

So if I open my eyes

I know I'll see her leaving

And the sight of that

Would make me lose control

So I'll lay here in the dark

Though it's tearing out my heart

If I were going to open my eyes

I should have done it long ago

If I was gonna open my eyes

I should have done it long ago
