To open oneself

by nightwishes

I opened my eyes and out came the water

not from me but from a long lost daughter

I opened my mouth as I heard them talkin'

and I didn't even see how they just kept walkin'

I opened my heart ready to run

but you shot me down with a metaphorical gun

I opened it all trying to impress

and finally realized they couldn't care less

So when they cut me open many years after that

they finally realized I was the one who was bright

Now I'm alive again in a thought or two

of people opening hearts maybe even inside you.
