Open Your Eyes
Unveiling Love's Illusion: Open Your Eyes by The Doobie Brothers
Lyrics
Girl, as we take a long last look at this love
Reflecting on the love as it comes to an end
Before you go, I've got to know
Expressing the need for understanding before parting
I've got to know, was it ever true
Questioning the authenticity of the love
I've got to hear it from you
Seeking confirmation directly from the partner
Girl, I can take one more hurt in this heart
Enduring emotional pain for the last time
Before you go, I've got to know
Reiterating the need for clarity before separation
I've got to know, was it ever true
Repeating the doubt about the truth of the love
I've got to hear it from you
Insisting on hearing the truth from the partner
Not like before
Highlighting a change from the past
We were lost in a whirling dance
Describing a previous carefree and fast-paced relationship
Never slowing down
Emphasizing the lack of slowing down in the past
Long enough to give truth a chance
Expressing the need for a pause to allow truth to emerge
To come out
Waiting for truth to surface
So that the light could shine in
Desiring clarity and illumination
And open your eyes
Encouraging the partner to see the reality
If it's not real, there's no reason to frown
Suggesting that without reality, there's no need to be sad
Open your eyes
Reiterating the call to open one's eyes to the truth
Let's not let what never was bring us down
Advising against being affected by what never truly existed
I've got to know, was it ever true
Repeating the question about the authenticity of love
I've got to hear it from you
Insisting on a direct response from the partner
Not like before
Recalling a change from the past
We were lost in a whirling dance
Describing a past fast-paced relationship
Never slowing down
Highlighting the lack of slowing down in the past
Long enough to give truth a chance
Reiterating the need for a pause to allow truth to emerge
To come out
Waiting for truth to surface
So that the light could shine in
Desiring clarity and illumination
And open your eyes
Encouraging the partner to see the reality
If it's not real, there's no reason to frown
Suggesting that without reality, there's no need to be sad
Open your eyes
Reiterating the call to open one's eyes to the truth
Let's not let what never was bring us down...
Advising against being affected by what never truly existed
