If I Open My Eyes Lyrics - Kevin Sharp

(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
