If I Open My Eyes

If I Open My Eyes Lyrics

(S. Mullins/D. Singleton/A. Gonzales)


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
