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 endTo where I swore that I would try
Since the last time I crossed that line
In the back of my mind, I knowIt 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 brokenMiles 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 meWhen I swore that I'd be strong
Now the next time has come and gone
Well, maybe you're wrong, I knowIt 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 brokenI 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 longI swore that I would try
Since the last time, the last timeIt 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 brokenIt 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
