These Eyes

One more lonely night
Seems like they’re getting longer
I reach out for the light
Knowin' I’m not any stronger
I traced the times we had before
And I wind up wanting more
I can’t remember losin' touch
I just remember never lovin' this much
Look in these eyes
And tell me my promises were lies
If you don’t know me by now
You better find a way somehow
Look right in my face
And tell me that my heart’s out of place
I wish you could see what I see
Through these eyes
On a stronger night
I pretend I’m gettin' over you
And I believe it too
Just like good news that was overdue
Suddenly, it’s there right before my eyes
As my made-up story dies
You never really saw in me
The man who never was
What he knew he could be
Just look in these eyes
And tell me my promises were lies
If you don’t know me by now
You better find a way somehow
Look right in my face
And tell me that my heart’s out of place
I wish you could see what I see
Through these eyes
Out of patience, you’re not alone
None so blind that will not see
(so afraid to meet) so afraid to meet my gaze
For fear of seeing me
Now I understand about
The windows of the mind
Sometimes to know what’s ahead
You gotta see what’s behind
Just look in these eyes
And tell me my promises were lies
If you don’t know me by now
You better find a way somehow
You better look right in my face
And tell me that my heart’s out of place
I wish you could see what I see
Through these eyes
(Now look in these eyes)
Look in these eyes
(tell me my promises were lies)
And tell me my promises were lies
(If you don’t know me by now)
If you don’t know me by now
(you better find a way somehow, some way)
You better find a way somehow
Look right in my face
(look at my face)
And tell me that my heart’s out of place
(My heart’s in the right place)
I wish you could see what I see
Through these eyes
