Open Up To Me Lyrics

And I thought that we were done
I was so scared to death
That I would never get another chance
To Share the same breath

With the girl in Nebraska
That turned me around
The day that I met you
Was the day that I found

A reason to live,
A reason to breathe,
You made me forget every insecurity

That I built up inside
'Cause I just couldn't take it
I thought that I could,
But I was sadly mistaken

Now it's your choice to know
That I'm crossin' my fingers
And to give me a chance
Even though the bill lingers

He left you a scar
That was deep enough to see
And I hate that because of him
You're doing this to me

So Baby,
Drop off the act,
and drop down your guard,
I made you the promise,
That I won't break your heart

When the sun starts to rise
And the sparks start to fling us
You'll look in my eyes
And you'll know that I mean this

Woah oh, Woah oh,
I swear that I mean this
Woah oh, Woah oh,
I swear that I mean this

I'm not leavin' till you tell me
That were meant to be
Because the feelings got me wrapped up
It's been weeks since I could sleep
And I've been staring at the ceiling
Counting down the days,
Until the moments that you finally,
Open up to me

And I've been takin' shit for granted
Because its hard to care
About the other things in life
When I just wish that you were there
So baby stop the masquerade
I'll give you time to breathe
The only thing I ask for in return
Is that you open up to me
Is that you open up to me
Is that you open up to me
Is that you open up to me

I've never missed you more
Than on the day I thought I lost you
It fucked me up so bad
Because I thought for sure I caught you

And my sentences were running
Like they had no place to go
It hadn't been the same since,
God Damn it I don't know

But What I know is that you feel it
'Cause I can feel it too
It's like the sky is falling down
And there is nothing you can do

Like you're trapped inside a box
And no one's got the key
I'd come to make the rescue
If you would only let me in
Woah oh, Woah oh
If you would only let me in
Woah oh, Woah oh

I'm not leavin' till you tell me
That were meant to be
Because the feelings got me wrapped up
It's been weeks since I could sleep
And I've been staring at the ceiling
Counting down the days,
Until the moments that you finally,
Open up to me

And I've been takin' shit for granted
Because its hard to care
About the other things in life
When I just wish that you were there
So baby stop the masquerade
I'll give you time to breathe

The only thing I ask for in return
Is that you open up to me
And you are the only thing I see
(Is that you open up to me)
And you are the only thing I see
(Is that you open up to me)
And you are the only thing I see
(Is that you open up to me)

I'm not leavin' till you tell me
That were meant to be
Because the feelings got me restless
It's been weeks since I could sleep
And I've been staring at the ceiling
Counting down the days,
Until the moments that you finally,
Open up to me

I'm not leavin' till you tell me
That were meant to be
Because the feelings got me restless
It's been weeks since I could sleep
And I've been staring at the ceiling
Counting down the days,
Until the moments that you finally,
Open up to me

And I've been takin' shit for granted
Because its hard to care
About the other things in life
When I just wish that you were there
So baby stop the masquerade
I'll give you time to breathe
The only thing I ask for in return
Is that you open up to me

And I've been takin' shit for granted
Because its hard to care
About the other things in life
When I just wish that you were there
So baby stop the masquerade
I'll give you time to breathe
The only thing I ask for in return
Is that you open up to me

And I've been takin' shit for granted
(And you, are the only thing I see)
Because its hard to care
About the other things in life
(And you, are the only thing I see)
When I just wish that you were there
So baby stop the masquerade
I'll give you time to breathe
The only thing I ask for in return
Is that you open up to me
