Open Eyes

Open your eyes Take a breath What some find in words Others find in time I hold no regrets I'm glad it was you You opened my eyes To a life born anew You've shown me happiness And pain But I'll never forget The lesson taught last Those that live life Without walls or protection We love the deepest And fall the hardest I fell hard And the thought pushes me through I don't regret you Even after everything I've gone through I still believe in what I held true It's never too late to fight But you can't always fight alone You reminded me of that All there is to say Is thank you For every memory Lodged in my brain Like a bullet, going for the kill It would be a lie If I said I didn't miss you But like a winter chill After a summer of love I hate what you've become.
