His eyes. His eyes. His gentle touch. When he looked at me And didn't say much But his heart spoke through his smile; It radiated from between his teeth Bounced off his lips And into my chest To melt away the ice That formed in my vacant heart. Yes, he broke down the barriers No other man could He saw a part of me No other man should Cause he got to me, Got through to me and Gripped me so tightly I couldn't catch my breath For I stumbled and fell To fall In love With him, For him, To him, I was everything But even that Wasn't enough To keep us together Cause even love Has a price to pay A sacrifice I wasn't willing to make Not now, not ever Say goodbye to forever And hello to An empty bed, A broken promise, And nothing but His voice Inside my head.
