Can hold my breath only for a little while

Until reality starts sinking in

Once again I'm settling for second best

Turn the page and skip to the end

To where I swore that I would try

Since the last time I crossed that line

In the back of my mind I know

It only hurts when your eyes are open

Lies get tossed and truth is spoken

It only hurts when that door gets open

Dreams are lost and hearts are broken

Miles away promise from a burning bed

Two worlds should never collide

One word would end it if you ever heard

And tear the page out that reminds me

When I swore that I'd be strong

Now the next time has come and gone

Well maybe you're wrong I know

It only hurts when your eyes are open

Lies get tossed and truth is spoken

It only hurts when that door gets open

Dreams are lost and hearts are broken

I know what's your feeling

It's hard to believe in

Someone someone who's not there

I know that you're waiting

Cause love is worth saving

But only for so long so long so long

I swore that I would try

Since the last time the last time

It only hurts when your eyes are open

Lies get tossed and truth is spoken

It only hurts when that door gets open

Dreams are lost and hearts are broken

It only hurts when your eyes are open

Lies get tossed and truth is spoken

It only hurts when that door gets open

Dreams are lost and hearts are broken
