You closed the eyes that I needed to see And broke the line that I needed to breathe It was fast, but you gave in perfectly In the past, I had always meant to set you free When you open your eyes, I'll be gone I don't know why, I waited to face all of my own blatant mistakes It's worse, now that something's in my way It's the hurt that I always knew would take your place
When you open your eyes, I'll be gone I know that I wish I was older I know that I wish I had fought I know that I wish I was closer To learning the lessons, you taught In your eyes, I was always wrong I've made up my mind, so, it won't be long Before you open your eyes, I'll be gone
