If I Open My Eyes
Kevin Sharp Song Lyrics




(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
