Can hold my breath only for a little while till reality starts sinking in,
Once again I'm settling for second best, turn the pages, 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, 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 I'm 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 you're 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.
