Open my eyes and I see you right there
And there's a part of me that
Just doesn't know what to do
It's only a nightmare
I been up, I been down
It makes complete nonsense
I can't understand any of it
Open my eyes and I see you right there
Knowing Ima cry, but it's only a nightmare
So I realize the things we cannot bare
Living fantasies, who am I if you're not there
So, I wanna be with my baby
I've been thinking about you lately
And you've been driving me crazy
Like walking through the rain,
The pain still amazes me
Man I thought this was all 'til I opened up my eyes
You can catch me standing lonely
Because you're with some other guy
Who am I?
Doesn't surprise me, I understand I wasn't there
When I stayed, just kinda telling you
It's rude you wasn't there
Rain falling on her head
I'm walking through, it's hard to bare
So when I seen you through the crowd
It made me wanna stop and stare
Cuz you're my baby
And I've been thinking about you lately
The pain still amazes me, it's crazy
You drop me on my knees and pick me up
Like it didn't phase me
You hurt my heart so bad
Like you locked me in the basement
It's gotten to my head, I'm impatient
I wanna be with you, not feeling blue
Cuz you're my lady
Some days I'm lazy, don't wanna fight back
Just grippin on her legs, she knows what excites that
Oh she fights back, two grips at a time
And I know she feels my love
Oh girl you know you were mine
Open my eyes and I see you right there
Knowing Ima cry, but it's only a nightmare
So I realize the things we cannot bare
Living fantasies, who am I if you're not there
So, I wanna be with my baby
I've been thinking about you lately
And you've been driving me crazy
Like walking through the rain,
The pain still amazes me
I've seen this nightmare
Somebody wake me up
I can picture you right there
But no, that's not enough
I don't get it, it's not fair
And there we go
You're with some dude you barely know
It's a chest pain scenario
The wet rains, my burial
You're letting me soak
Yeah I'm dreaming of a miracle wherever I go
And then I'm blue and I'm alone
Just keep thinking all about you
But no, for real
I can't see myself going on without you
So I wrote this song about you
Dedicated this to you
I sing it when I'm having trouble taking the truth
I never thought I'd lose my baby
When I heard you say It was over
It was painful, you're contagious
Girl you're exposure to my heart
It's still echoing in my head
I was frozen from the start
One light flash and I was there
And yeah it was rash what I said
Every other girl would know it
I was crashing in my bed
Feeling like the world was over
Til I open my eyes and I see you right there
Knowing Ima cry, but it's only a nightmare
So I realize the things we cannot bare
Living fantasies, who am I if you're not there
So, I wanna be with my baby
I've been thinking about you lately
And you've been driving me crazy
Like walking through the rain,
The pain still amazes me
With no umbrella, take a trip through the rain
Thinking what Ima tell her, take a hit before the shame
Sing it, like Helen Keller trying to see through the grain
But I didn't notice this game
It's not so easy to sing
And after all the misery
I still don't understand what you did to me
Open your eyes maybe you can see
All the lying and hiding you did to me
And all I ever wanted
Was for you to be my one and only
Never came around, always kept your head down
Now you're crawling back to me lonely
And after all the things you stand for
You think we all got it, all that bad luck
We don't but your love got me in a bad rut
Open my eyes and I see you right there
Knowing Ima cry, but it's only a nightmare
So I realize the things we cannot bare
Living fantasies, who am I if you're not there
So, I wanna be with my baby
I've been thinking about you lately
And you've been driving me crazy
Like walking through the rain,
The pain still amazes me
