Open Up
Leon Power Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well I have got to
Tell you what to do
And all my movements
Are based 'round showing you
But I've been alone
And I've been on my own
Do you wanna know
What I wanna know
If you the one who
Can handle all the truth
Is it you
Well if I try to open up
No, please don't run away
I'm closing up
But I got that on wait
And I'll start
I know I've made mistakes
But I suffer every day
We try to hold down
And up our every move
And all my movements
Are based round showing you
Late late late late lately
I've been trying to save me
But I need
Something to console me
Someone who can see the things I see
Well if I try to open up
No please don't run away
I'm closing up
But I got that on wait
And I'll start
I know I've made mistakes
But I suffer every day
Open up
Open up
And I'll start
Open up
Open up
No please don't run away
I'm closing up
But I got that on wait
And I'll start
I know I've made mistakes




But I suffer every day
Open up...
