Eyes

Eyes

Verse 1

I saw you but you looked away from me

I am not blind and neither are you

Then why do I feel like I have poor vision?

Maybe it's because I was blind-sided by reality

You let me into your home

Eventually into your bed

I foolishly believed that I was a part of your life

Verse 2

Some say that eyes are windows to one's soul

If that is true, then yours are dark and cold

They appeared to be warm and inviting

Now I see them as your tools of deception

I was starting to give you all of me

Instead, you took away what we could have been

Verse 3

Oh, poor pitiful me

I was taken for a ride, then cast out to sea

You appointed yourself as my master and commander

Directing me through some of my highs and lows

When the waters were still

Moments with you were refreshingly enjoyable

But when the waters rose

Our eyes were at different levels

Chorus

My eyes saw you as a decent person

As a thoughtful and caring man

I assumed your eyes saw me as an attractive person

As an inquisitive and open minded dude

Now my eyes see you as a shallow person

As a disrespectful and insensitive jerk
