I took a beatin', hell I took some bad ones
Just tryin' to hold this thing straight
It's hard work, believin'
You win some, you lose some
While watchin' your work go to waste
Don't know when to start runnin'
Don't know if I'm done in
Or whether to pull you in tight
When you're this deep in somethin'
Can be certain what's comin'
But I got this cold feelin' I'm right

So if you know something, I don't
Won't you please, please, open my eyes
Open my eyes
Open my eyes

I dragged some dirt in
I know that we both did
We dragged it all over the floor
From dancing and turning
To pacing and worrying
There's wear deep in every board
There were two, now there's one
Down from so much to none
At some point somebody got tired
Is it easy for some
To know what's to be done
To make it or only keep trying

So if you know something, I don't
Won't you please, please, open my eyes
Open my eyes
Open my eyes

I would stare at myself in the mirror
If I thought that I had any answers
Hell finding my way just by failure
Oh so far we can see clear

So if you know something, I don't
If you know something, I don't
Won't you please, please, open my eyes
Open my eyes
Open my eyes
Open my eyes
Open my eyes

If you know something, I don't
Won't you please, please
Won't you please, please, open your eyes
