Open Your Eyes...

Time tells so much, it is true,
Time has told the story of me and you.
At times you're here, right by my side,
The person in which my soul confides.
When you are far I feel a pain,
The sun subsides, the rain remains.
It hurts to take on the world without you.
You are a part of my day, a part of what I do.
But then you leave and don't turn back
And I lose sight of all your trachs.
It's true I'm not special, and I never may be
I can't do anything about that, it's only me.
I feel abandoned; alone and sad,
I feel like you're all that I ever had.
It's sad how seperation breaks us apart
Two souls as one but a broken heart.
Maybe it doesn't affect you like it does me,
Maybe I feel stronger or your love is harder to see.
I can make excuses all day long,
But I know deep inside that I am wrong.
It's happened before, history repeats
I've been here before on this very same street.
Someone turns away and never comes back
It isn't them really; It's everything I lack.
And I don't understand WHY I always believe once more,
It's as if I don't know what is really in store.
I've learned the hard way, and maybe it's true.
Maybe I'm not special, not special enough for you.
I cast a look back, I see the face,
A memory is triggered, I remember this place.
I've walked this path before, yes it is true
TIme had already told the story of me and you.
