Array ( [sid] => 112229 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => open your eyes [time] => 2005-12-29 00:21:13 [hometext] => [bodytext] => Fragile (so fragile) in my heart.
I’m stronger than you thought I was,
But I don’t know where to start.
I’m different after everything…
It's amazing how much
I always took of this abuse.
You were tempting, I admit.
And you always made me weak.
So full of doubt, so out of touch.
I was always so naive.
But reality has chosen me
to guide the wings -
Of my imperfection.

I'm swimming in a sea of emotion.
And there's no way to show you that I'm-

So frozen (so frozen) in time.
I'm lost within the memories.
Of the you I thought I knew.
I've lost my trust in humanity.
I feel so empty, so used.
It was such a grand facade
I played your game along with you.
You were nothing but a mask.
A great pretender, but I was...
So full of love, of everything.
I couldn't change for you.
I was always so unheard...
So unseen...


I'm swimming in a sea of emotion.
And there's no way to show you that I'm-

Fighting (I'm fighting) deep inside.
I'm torn between the warmth of light
And darkness that creeps in
Loving you used to feel so right.
Why do I care when you don't?
I'm struggling to breathe
You're drowning me.
I'm suffocating in your memory.
And I owe it all to you...
I owe it all to me.
Because reality has chosen me
to guide the wings -
Of my imperfection.

Why so incomplete?
Why so indiscrete?
Why was I so naive?

I'm swimming in a sea of emotion.
And there's just no way to show you.

Because you refuse to really open your eyes.
