If I Open My Eyes

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
