My eyes are open wide By the way I made it through the day…
“My eyes are open wide By the way I made it through the day I watch the world outside By the way I'm leaving out today I just saw Haley's Comet, she waved Said, Why are you always running in place? Even the man in the moon disappeared Somewhere in the stratosphere Tell my mother, tell my father I've done the best I can To make them realize this is my life, I hope they understand I'm not angry, I'm just saying Sometimes goodbye is a second chance Please don't cry one tear for me I'm not afraid of what I have to say This is my one and only voice So listen close, it's only for today I just saw Haley's Comet, she waved Said, Why are you always running in place? Even the man in the moon disappeared Somewhere in the stratosphere Tell my mother, tell my father I've done the best I can To make them realize this is my life, I hope they understand I'm not angry, I'm just saying Sometimes goodbye is a second chance Here is my chance This is my chance Tell my mother, tell my father I've done the best I can To make them realize this is my life, I hope they understand I'm not angry, I'm just saying Sometimes goodbye is a second chance Sometimes goodbye is a second chance Sometimes goodbye is a second chance”
