You listened to that little voice in your head
But you got it all wrong
There wasn’t anything you could have said
And now it’s been too long

If I cant make you understand
(It doesn’t have to be this way)
I wont give you the upper hand
(And now I'm backed into a corner)

You’ve got to open your eyes up
Before you make the same mistakes
You’ve got to open your eyes up
It may already be too late
It’s never going to be the same

You listened to that little voice in your head
But you got it all wrong

If I can't make you understand
(It doesn't have to be this way)
I wont give you the upper hand
(And now I'm backed into a corner)

You’ve got to open your eyes up
Before you make the same mistakes
You’ve got to open your eyes up
It may already be too late
It’s never going to be the same

I can’t watch as you fade away
I’ve never seen you act this way
I know you lost the words to say
But hold on

If I can't make you understand
(It doesn’t have to be this way)
I wont give you the upper hand
(And now I'm backed into a corner)

You’ve got to open your eyes up
Before you make the same mistakes
You’ve got to open your eyes up
It may already be too late
It’s never going to be the same
It’s never going to be the same

You’ve got to open your eyes up
Before you make the same mistakes
You’ve got to open your eyes up
It may already be too late
It’s never going to be the same
