[Verse 1]
I took a beating; Hell, I took some bad ones
Just trying to hold this thing straight
It's hard work believing
You win some, you lose some
While watching your work go to waste

Don't know when to start running
Don't know if I'm done in
Or whether to pull you in tight
When you're this deep in something
Can't be certain what's coming
But I got this cold feeling I'm right

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

[Verse 2]
I dragged some dirt in, I know that we both did
We tracked it all over the floor
From dancing 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?

[Chorus]
Well, if you know something I don't
Won't you please, please open my eyes
Open my eyes
Open my eyes

[Bridge]
I would stare at myself in the mirror
If I thought that I had any answers
Hey, I'm finding my way just by feel here
Only so far we can see clear

[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
If you know something I don't
Won't you please, please
Won't you please, please open your eyes
