Day after day
|
All I saw was you
|
And the sky came a tumblin' 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
|
|
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 movin' 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
|
|
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
|
|
