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 leftover dream I should have outgrown
Now it's too little too late, I've been replaced
Why did I wait so long?

Just a few minutes too late
Now 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

I'm no longer hell bent on being alone
A leftover dream I've finally outgrown
But it's too little too late, I've been replaced
Why did I wait so long?

Just a few minutes too late
Now the tables have turned and what have I learnt?
That life is better lived with open eyes
Open eyes, open eyes, mmm yeah

But I gave too little too late
I've been replaced
And why did I wait so long?

Just a few minutes too late
Now 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
