Eyes Wide Shut

[ Lyrics ]

I saw it all—I just hoped you’d change.

I traced the cracks in your alibi,
watched the lies bloom behind your eyes.
You wore silence like a second skin,
and I kissed the truth just to let you in.
Photoshopped smiles, late-night delays,
hands too warm from someone else’s place.
But I stayed quiet, played the part—
a soft believer with a breaking heart.

I saw red flags like holiday lights,
still hung them up, called it love for a night.
Not stupid—I was choosing the dark,
hoping the flame could restart.

I saw it all—I just hoped you’d change.
Sat in the smoke and called it rain.
Knew every exit, still slammed the door,
trapped in the fire I refused to ignore.
I saw it all—I just hoped you’d change,
let you rewrite me, rearrange.

You’d come home late with excuses thin,
smell of perfume that wasn’t mine.
Said it was work, said it was stress,
while I combed the truth from your mess.
Saw the texts you thought I’d never find,
heart in my throat, still peace of mind.
Told myself—just this once, just one more try,
love could fix what kept me up at night.

I wasn’t blind, I just turned my gaze,
let you live in a foggy haze.
Held my breath for a better end,
playing pretend with a broken friend.

I saw it all—I just hoped you’d change.
Sat in the smoke and called it rain.
Knew every exit, still slammed the door,
trapped in the fire I refused to ignore.
I saw it all—I just hoped you’d change,
let you rewrite me, rearrange.

It wasn’t love—it was a choice I made,
to love the dream more than the face.
I built a shrine out of my pain,
and called it loyalty through the flame.

I saw it all—I just hoped you’d change.
Sat in the smoke and called it rain.
Not a victim—no, I stayed by hand,
I saw the truth… and helped you plan.
I saw it all—I just hoped you’d change,
loved the ghost more than the man.

Yeah… eyes wide shut.
