Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I’ve been through a year of madness

Replaced my hope with sadness

Found waking up the hardest

[Verse 2]

And every day, it felt the longest

All blessings were unwanted

Constantly haunted

[Chorus]

Then you opened up

Opened up my windows

Yeah, you opened up

Opened up my windows

Like fire in the sky

You know what it's like

Was so glad to feel the sunlight in my eyes

[Verse 3]

I've been through a year of hurting (Badly)

Bad guesses and wrong turnings

The memory still burning (Inside)

[Verse 4]

And the lights are all at red

Should I leave or stay in bed?

Didn’t practice what I preached

So I just shouted, "Help me"

"Help me"

[Chorus]

Then you opened up

Opened up my windows

Yeah, you opened up

Opened up my windows

Like fire in the sky

You know what it's like

Was so glad to feel the sunlight in my eyes

[Verse 5]

Ready now to start this climb

See the beacon way up high

If I fall or lose my way

Please come and get me, get me

[Chorus]

You opened up

Opened up my windows

Yeah, you opened up

Opened up my windows

Then you opened up

Opened up my windows

Yeah, you opened up

Opened up my windows

Like fire in the sky

You know what it's like

Was so glad to feel the sunlight in my eyes

[Outro]

You opened up

Opened up my windows

Yeah, you opened up

Opened up my windows
