Can hold my breath only for a little while 'til 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 [bad word] 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 [bad word] and gone well maybe i'm wrong i know

it only hurts when your eyes are open lies get tossed and [bad word] is spoken it only hurts when that door
gets open dreams are lost and hearts are broken

i know what your feeling it's hard to believe in someone, someone who's not there 
i know that your 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 [bad word] 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 [bad word] is spoken it only hurts when that door
gets open dreams are lost and hearts are broken
