Eyes That Won't Meet Mine
The Eyes That Won't Meet Mine
They say a picture's worth a thousand words
Tonight your silence
It speaks a thousand pictures
I won't say you lied to me
We all lie to ourselves
I don't give lectures
CHORUS:
Just look at me
Don't try to protect me
I need an answer
Not a valentine
Just look at me
I'll find the truth there written
Written in the eyes
In the eyes
That won't meet mine
I know you mean well
But my life has been hell
Wondering if the sky is finally falling
You know I love you
But there ain't much of you left for me
You hear somewhere else a-calling (CHORUS)
So let's put all the cards on the table tonight
Have some faith that no truth is past forgiving
I might be stronger than you think
Might not drive myself to drink
Who knows—I might even go on living
CHORUS:
Just look at me
Don't try to protect me
I need an answer
Not a valentine
Just look at me
I'll find the truth there written
Written in the eyes
In the eyes
That won't meet mine
