Candi Staton
Open My Eyes
[Verse 1]
I've been thinking about you
And all the things you said
Maybe you were a little right
I can hold my head up high and know
That I did this all for you
And maybe you were right
That I need a little distance from you
So I call you out
In the middle of my darkness

[Chorus]
Tell him that
This girl isn't looking for
What you've got
You know I've got more of your
Sunlight
You open my eyes
Because this is not over
Tell him that
This girl isn't looking for
What you've got
You know I've got more of your
Sunlight
You open my eyes
Because this is not over
[Verse 2]
I've been thinking about you
And all the things you said
Maybe you were a little right
I can hold my head up high and know
In the middle of my darkness
Nothing can be nothing
If it makes you feel like this
But to find out how you felt before
When I thought you were the better part of me
And I'm thinking, did I know you at all?
Hey

[Chorus]
Tell him that
This girl isn't looking for
What you've got
You know I've got more of your
Sunlight
You open my eyes
Because this is not over
Tell him that
This girl isn't looking for
What you've got
You know I've got more of your
Sunlight
You open my eyes
Because this is not over
[Bridge]
It's not over, over, over (Oh)
It's not over, over, over (Oh, no)
It's not over, over, over (It's not over)
It's not over, over, over (I dare you to say it)
Say it out loud, it's not over
It's not over

[Chorus]
Tell him that
This girl isn't looking for
What you've got
You know I've got more of your
Sunlight
You open my eyes
Because this is not over
