Open my eyes, and I see
Who I am, what I'm meant to be
I look at you - see things I want to be
And the things that I don't like
Are the things that I don't see in me...
Every time I look at you, I'm looking in the mirror
What is it that I see, what is it that I hear
I take my eyes from you, and start to look inside
What is the truth, what is it that I hide
Open my eyes, and I see
Who I am, what I'm meant to be
I look at you - see things I want to be
And the things I that I don't like
Are the things that I don't see in me...
Each time I stir inside, with anger and with fear
What is it that I see, what is it that I hear
'Cause if I look inside, I'll probably find
What is the truth, what is it that I hide
(Repeat 2x and end...)
Open my eyes, and I see
Who I am, what I'm meant to be
I look at you - see things I want to be
And the things I that I don't like
Are the things that I don't see in me...
