Tina Dickow Watching Him Go song lyrics

I must be crazy to tell you what I'm telling you now

It's kinda personal but I'm way beyond being proud

I just spent a year saying no to this man chasing me down

Then he got over me the minute I turned around

I was so hell bent on being alone

A leftover dream I should have outgrown

Now it's too little too late, I've been replaced

Why did I wait so long?

Just a few minutes too late

Now the tables have turned and what have I learnt?

That life is better lived with open eyes

My eyes were closed and now I'm watching him go

I look at couples made of people who just wanna be free

It proves the grass is always greener if they wanna be me

Even the mention of her name brings a smile to his face

It isn't easy to admit it but he's in a good place

I'm no longer hell bent on being alone

A leftover dream I've finally outgrown

But it's too little too late, I've been replaced

Why did I wait so long?

Just a few minutes too late

Now the tables have turned and what have I learnt?

That life is better lived with open eyes

Open eyes, open eyes, um yeah

But I gave too little too late

I've been replaced

And why did I wait so long?

Just a few minutes too late

Now the tables have turned and what have I learnt?

That life is better lived with open eyes

My eyes were closed and now I'm watching him go
