Eyes


Your smile is a trap that falls out from under me

but holding onto you makes me feel so free

what do you mean when you say you love her

all the love is in your eyes as you look down at me tonight. 

So right, we feel so right

am I right?

or am I wrong? 

is it all a mistake, even this song?

please tell me tonight

i'll try to be strong 

even though I know in my heart it was you all along. 

-

I'm not sure what to do 

with you

or me

I'm not sure what to think

are you scared?

don't be 

I'll be here to catch you when you fall

if you give your all

to me, I'll give my all

to you

I know I wear my heart on my sleeve 

and sometimes it makes me weak

but you make me strong 

in your arms is where I belong.

-

Is it mutual? 

please say yes

or nod your head

anything instead

of the words I fear

to hear

come out of your mouth   

because when I wasn't looking,

it was you that I found. 

**

Look into my eyes

What do you see?

In the reflection 

Is all that I need. 

Open up your heart

And you will find

That mine has been waiting

All of this time. 

**
