Eyes Wide Open

At seventeen she thought she knew
A lot more than her parents. Do
I wait, or hesitate? Their date
Was something to anticipate.
He seemed a little rough, at first
Perhaps this wouldn't be the worst
time, but he says he loves her, so,
There she goes,
With her eyes wide open

What is love but how we dream it?
Does it ever feel the same?
Is this one of life's delicious games?

Something she said? He didn't say.
It didn't matter anyway,
This was just another day
She stayed; someday she'll run away.
She had to think of where to go
What to tell them? I don't know?
She can't let the family know
Her tears flow
With her eyes wide open

What is pain, but how we feel it?
Does it ever heal the same?
Is this one of life's malicious games?

She was one they didn't save
Leaving put her in her grave
Secrets that she couldn't share
No one helped her, lying there
As the light began to dim
What was her final thought of him?
Looking blankly at the sky
She died,
With her eyes wide open

What is death, but how we grieve it?
Will they all end the same?
Tragic proof that life's a vicious game.

Something you may think you saw
No, it can't be that at all
Let's pretend we didn't see it
We're mistaken, that can't be it
Mind your own affairs, we say
Not our business anyway
Turn our heads and walk away
Each day
With our eyes wide open
