One faithful night I was driving around town

It was late, I was tired and feeling down

I like to drive to take my mind off all the stuff

That stresses me out and that keeps me up

And sometimes when I'm driving I put two and two together

I'd read the email earlier that day but thought, "no never"

Surely it couldn't be, surely this wasn't true

The person who betrayed me, who stole it all, was you

I took my knife and I held it right in front of him

To teach him a lesson in suffering

And now he sleeps (he sleeps)

With one eye open (God knows)

Oh God knows I told him

I guess he thought that I was joking

But now his face is broken (I'm not)

I'm not the kind of girl that

Would normally worry that

Cut it out so I could show him

Now he sleeping with one eye open

Let me back this up, I can explain

I forgot to mention I've been driving in the rain

I was in shock, a sort of catatonic state

But I tried to speak, I tried to breathe, I couldn't break

The car it flipped, I flew into a ditch

It was in the hospital I first got the edge

I was laying in my blood soaked clothes when I knew what to do

Almost dying, it made me want to hurt you

I took my knife and I held it right in front of him

To teach him a lesson in suffering

And now he sleeps (he sleeps)

With one eye open (God knows)

Oh God knows I told him

I guess he thought that I was joking

But now his face is broken (I'm not)

I'm not the kind of girl that

Would normally worry that

Cut it out so I could show him

Now he sleeping with one eye open

That's what he's got now, one eye open

Ooh, one eye open

That's what he's got now, one eye open

One eye open

I kept it as a souvenir

So you can see I'm always here

I wear it like a locket around my neck

It's watching out for me so I never forget

And now he sleeps (he sleeps)

With one eye open (God knows)

Oh God knows I told him

I guess he thought that I was joking

But now his face is broken (I'm not)

I'm not the kind of girl that

Would normally worry that

Cut it out so I could show him

Now he sleeping with one eye open

That's what he's got now, one eye open

Ooh, one eye open

That's what he's got now, one eye open

One eye open
