Day after day all i saw was you
and the sky came a tumbling down
smoke in the air all i want is truth
I am a light that's aglow, that's alive
that's a warm place in your heart
you kept turning me on and off
'til i went out and you were standing, shivering in the dark
Open your eyes
and see me leaving
closing the door
i won't think twice
when you come pleaing
not anymore
Hope was a dream that i had of you
in the soft, warm slumber of dawn
i must keep in mind that reality
can be painful if neglected too long
I am aware that i will soon be released
to the mercy of a concrete jungle
i thought that i could glide right in
but instead it's over loneliness and pride i stumble
Open your eyes
and see me leaving
closing the door
i won't think twice
when you come pleaing
not anymore, no, no, no
Open your eyes
and see that i am not afraid of
saying goodbye
your strikes are up, i'm gone
so don't even try
'cause i'm telling you right now
that i'm a free young woman
and i gotta be moving on
Once i was lost in my strife
and getting you off was my life
i was in doubt, now i know
that getting rid of you was all i needed to grow
once i was lost, now i'm found
with my adidas on the ground
once i was blind, now i see
the negative effect that you were having on me
Open your eyes
and see me leaving
closing the door
i won't think twice
when you come pleaing
not anymore (not anymore), no, no
You're not the man
that i remember
tell me your name
cold empty seat
that long november
you never came
Open your eyes
and see me
see me leaving
