I'll open the window


i’ll open the window so you can leave

because i can't watch you walk out the door.

i'll lift the blinds carefully

because that's how i open my eyes looking for you.

i’ll unlatch it slowly

because i want you to know it’s taking a lot out of me.

i’ll remove the screen

because i want you to see how empty the pane is left.

i’ll let you take a last look

because i know that moments like this can be indecisive

i’ll let you jump out

because i want you to get a glimpse of how rock bottom feels.

if you want to go i won't stop you

because that’s your choice to make.

but i’ll open the window so you can leave

because i can’t watch you walk out the door.
