I realized
that no matter how I tried
I can not unlock the truth
you hide behind your eyes

I realized
that no matter how I plead
you will never speak
anything but lies to me

I realized
that no matter what I do
you will never care for
anybody else but you

chorus:
The knowledge caught me unaware
For this painful truth
I was unprepared
My wishful thinking
was reality denied
One day I opened up my eyes
and I realized

I realized
that no matter what makes sense
you will never see beyond
your own pure selfishness

I realized
that no matter what you say
what you do is driven by
how much you stand to gain

I realized
that there's no point for me to wait
you will never change
So I leave you to your fate.

chorus:
The knowledge caught me unaware
For this painful truth
I was unprepared
My wishful thinking
was reality denied
One day I opened up my eyes
and I realized

God, I wish that you could see
how lost you are,
strangled by your greed
your selfish sins are more
transparent than you think
It's time you opened up your eyes
and you realized

If you want me to believe,
show me that you've opened up your eyes...
And realized.
