Fortunate One Lyrics by Ari Scott

I Can Open My Eyes

0

It's been quite a while since you left me so hurriedly
Off to get your fill
You said that you'd write if the spirit moved you
I guess you've been pretty still

But I'm getting out and I'm getting on
And I never cried
I'm glad that you finally found happiness
You know with me you never tried, you never tried

But I can breathe and I can move and I can open my eyes
And I'm happy that you didn't stay
You can have her moonbeams and tomorrow's sunrise
Well you're the fortunate one, hurray, hurray, hurray

I've lost seven pounds and I've been into town
And I've even had a date
Last week I saw her in the grocery store
Comparing labels in aisle eight

But I'm getting up and I'm getting right
And I never cried
I'm glad that you finally found loveliness
You know with me you never tried, you never tried

[Chorus]
But I can breathe and I can move and I can open my eyes
And I'm happy that you didn't stay
You can have her big smile and her sweet apple pies
Well you're the fortunate one, hurray, hurray, hurray

Nobody told me it'd be hard like this
My friends, they don't know what to say
They say, "keep on keepin' on, just keep on like this,"
But I keep on throwing it away

I am quite aware there are people out there
Who have it far worse than me
But somehow that doesn't make it easier
To get out of bed happy

But I'm getting back and I'm getting strong
And I never cried
I'm glad that you finally found your point five
You know with me you never tried, you never tried

[Chorus]
But I can breathe and I can move and I can open my eyes
And I'm happy that you didn't stay
You can have your trophy, your big shiny prize
Well you're the fortunate one, hurray, hurray, hurray
