It Only Hurts

Can hold my breath

Only for a little while

Until reality stars sinkin' in

Once again I'm settlin'

For second best

Turn the page and 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 truth is spoken

It only hurts when that door gets opened

Dreams are lost

And hearts are broken

Miles away, promise from a burning bed

Two worlds

Should never collide

One word

Would it 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

Has come and gone

Well, maybe I'm wrong, I know

It only hurts when your eyes are open

Lies get tossed

And truth is spoken

It only hurts when that door gets opened

Dreams are lost

And hearts are broken

I know what your feelin'

It's hard to believe in someone

Someone who's not there

I know that you're waitin'

'Cause love is worth savin'

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 truth is spoken

It only hurts when that door gets opened

Dreams are lost

And hearts are broken

It only hurts when your eyes are open

Lies get tossed

And truth is spoken

It only hurts when that door gets opened

Dreams are lost

And hearts are broken
