I  must be crazy  to tell  you what I'm telling  you now
It's  kinda personal  but I'm  way beyond  being proud
I  just spent a year  saying no  to this man  chasing me down
Then  he got over  me the minute  I turned  around
 I was so hell  bent on being alone
 A left-over  dream I should have out-grown
 Now it's too  little too  late
 I’ve been replaced
 Why did I wait  so long?
 Just a few  minutes too  late
 The tables have turned
 And what have I learnt?
 That life  is better  lived with open eyes
 My eyes were closed
 And now I'm watching him go
I  look at couples  made of people  who just wanna  be free
It  proves the grass  is always greener  if they wanna  be me
Even  the mention  of her name  brings a smile  to his face
It  isn't easy to admit  it but he's  in a good place
 No longer hell  bent on being alone
 A left-over  dream I've finally out-grown
 But it's too  little too  late
 I've been replaced
 Why did I wait  so long?
 Just a few  minutes too  late
 The tables have turned
 And what have I learnt?
 That life  is better  lived with open eyes
 Open eyes  Open eyes
 I gave too  little too  late
 I've been replaced
 Why did I wait  so long?
 Just a few  minutes too  late
 The tables have turned
 And what have I learnt?
 That life  is better  lived with  open eyes
 My eyes were closed
 And now I'm watching him go
