It Only Hurts When Your Eyes Are Open

Can hold my breath only for a little while,
Until reality starts sinking in
Once again, I'm settling for second best
Turn the pages skip to the end

It only hurts when your eyes are open
Lies get tossed and truth is spoken
It only hurts when that door gets open
Dreams are lost and hearts are broken
