Open Your Eyes

You’re Not Alone

Saosin

It's just like him
To wander off in the evergreen park

He looks the other way again, and I still see his eyes in my mind. They’re such honest eyes, I wish I knew what he was thinking, but he’d never answer, would he? He doesn’t know how I feel, he wouldn’t understand anyway. So why does it hurt so much to try to move on, when everyday, he stops me frozen and breathless?

Slowly searching
For any sign of the ones he used to love

Where’d he go anyway? I miss the old him, the one he was just a few days ago. Time has changed him I know, it has changed me too, but I don’t want to lose him now. He’s so close I could touch him, but when I try, he’s far away again. Nobody knows but me, the hurt I feel when I see him crumble like a weather worn stone.

He says he's got nothing left to live for
(He says he's got nothing left)
And this time I think you'll know

He’s giving up again, broken hearted once more. Little does he know he’s never alone. I am always on the edge, protecting him with my wings. My feathers were clipped, love, don’t leave me here, never to fly. Every now and then I catch his eye, and my heart flutters. Does he know? I don’t know if I want him too.

You're not alone
There is more to this I know

Here we go again, another lost fight, and still I wish I knew the truth. What is he hiding from? I stand by him every day, and every day, it hurts to see him give into this. Don’t let go now, I am still here for you.

You can make it out
You will live to tell

I think he might be coming through, but I fear it’s damaged him beyond repair. I wish I could say that I am sorry. But how could that heal the wounds he’s suffered. Could they really be by my own hands?

She's just like him
Spoiled rotten, confused by the lies she's been fed
And she's searching for no one (but herself)

I wish I knew who I was inside. I just want to tell him everything, say all the words I censored, tell how much it hurts to be alone, waking up at night because I dreamt of him. I don’t want to believe it’s over, there has to be a true ending. This cannot be it.

Her eyes turn to green and she seems to be happy that she is here
And this time I think you'll know

It may be that I get hurt all the time, and my heart flutters when I am near him, and each time we brush, electricity runs up my veins like a never ending fire. But I am happy here, all alone, watching from a distance once more. I would give anything, to stand beside him, with a sword of my own.

You're not alone
There is more to this I know

You can make it out
You will live to tell

I know he can make it; he gets so much stronger every day. Now he smiles at everyone, laughs whenever he’s with me. I know he can do it, in my heart, I know the truth. But does he know about the secrets I hide.

You're not alone
There is more to this i know
You can make it out
(There is more to this)

It’s the end, I can tell. The weeks of pain are done, and now I can smile too. Now we can laugh together, just like old times. Yet something nags the edge of my mind even now.

We're not alone
There is more to this i know

You can make it out
You will live to tell
(So tell me)

He drives up late, knocks on my window. He climbed the tree, and snuck in as quiet as my love for him. I’m sorry he says. I wish I knew how to say how I feel. He gently took my hand. We’re together forever, it’s all right now. And I cried the bitter tears I hid for so long.

You're not alone
There is more to this i know
You can make it out

You will live to tell

He’s okay now, and everything is all right. We made it out of this mess, and now, we can face the rest of them together. It’s a relief to fly in the skies once more, but now, with my best friend by my side.

You're not alone
You're not, your not alone

Freedom never tasted quite so good.
