You closed the eyes that I needed to see
A broken line that I needed to breathe
It was fast, but you gave in perfectly
In the past, I had always meant to set you free

So when you open your eyes I'll be gone

I don't know why
I wanted to face all of my own blatant mistakes
But it's worse, now that something's in my way
It's the hurt
That I always knew would take your place

When you open your eyes I'll be gone

I know that I wish I was older
I know that I wish I had fought
I know that I wish I was closer
To learning the lessons you taught
But in your eyes I was always wrong
And I've made up my mind so it won't be long

Before your open your eyes...I'll be gone
