Lyrics
Opening My Eyes
Never have I felt so cold and so insecure.
Is it something that I can endure?
Never have I fallen flatter down on my face.
Is it something that I can erase?
Someday I will find a place, to lay my head so it feels in grace.
Never have I felt so cold and so insecure.
Is it something that I can endure?
Someday I will find a cure.
Answer these questions, and I'm not so sure.
If I leave, leave, won't wear it on my sleeve, I'm trying to open your eyes.
There is no shame, shame I'll never feel the same, because this is much more than a compromise.
I'm opening my eyes.
Never have I felt so numb and so all alone.
Is it something I should have known?
Never have I felt so lost and so unaware.
Is it something I can repair?
If I leave, leave, won't wear it on my sleeve, I'm trying to open your eyes.
There is no shame, shame I'll never feel the same, because this is much more than a compromise.
I'm opening my eyes.
And there was a time my life was in line, and the world seemed to smile on me.
Now things have changed, my place isn't the same, and the rains pouring down over me. Can't you see?
If I leave, leave, won't wear it on my sleeve, I'm trying to open your eyes.
There is no shame, shame I'll never feel the same, because this is much more than a compromise.
I'm opening my eyes.
