Dry Your Eyes |
In one single moment your whole life can turn 'round |
I stand there for a minute starin' straight into the ground |
Lookin' to the left slightly, then lookin' back down |
World feels like it’s caved in — proper sorry frown |
Please let me show you where we could only just be, for us |
I can change and I can grow or we could adjust |
The wicked thing about us is we always have trust |
We can even have an open relationship, if you must |
I look at her she stares almost straight back at me |
But her eyes glaze over like she’s lookin' straight through me |
Then her eyes must have closed for what seems an eternity |
When they open up she’s lookin' down at her feet |
Dry your eyes mate |
I know it’s hard to take but her mind has been made up |
There’s plenty more fish in the sea |
Dry your eyes mate |
I know you want to make her see how much this pain hurts |
But you’ve got to walk away now |
It’s over |
So then I move my hand up from down by my side |
It’s shakin', my life is crashin' before my eyes |
Turn the palm of my hand up to face the skies |
Touch the bottom of her chin and let out a sigh |
‘Cause I can’t imagine my life without you and me |
There’s things I can’t imagine doin', things I can’t imagine seein' |
It weren’t supposed to be easy, surely |
Please, please, I beg you please |
She brings her hands up towards where my hands rested |
She wraps her fingers round mine with the softness she’s blessed with |
She peels away my fingers, looks at me and then gestures |
By pushin' my hand away to my chest, from hers |
Dry your eyes mate |
I know it’s hard to take but her mind has been made up |
There’s plenty more fish in the sea |
Dry your eyes mate |
I know you want to make her see how much this pain hurts |
But you’ve got to walk away now |
It’s over |
And I’m just standin' there, I can’t say a word |
‘Cause everythin’s just gone |
I’ve got nothin' |
Absolutely nothin' |
Tryin' to pull her close out of bare desperation |
Put my arms around her tryin' to change what she’s sayin' |
Pull my head level with hers so she might engage in |
Look into her eyes to make her listen again |
I’m not gonna fuckin', just fuckin' leave it all now |
‘Cause you said it’d be forever and that was your vow |
And you’re gonna let our things simply crash and fall down |
You’re well out of order now, this is well out of town |
She pulls away, my arms are tightly clamped round her waist |
Gently pushes me back and she looks at me straight |
Turns around so she’s now got her back to my face |
Takes one step forward, looks back, and then walks away |
Dry your eyes mate |
I know it’s hard to take but her mind has been made up |
There’s plenty more fish in the sea |
Dry your eyes mate |
I know you want to make her see how much this pain hurts |
But you’ve got to walk away now |
It’s over |
I know in the past I’ve found it hard to say |
Tellin' you things, but not tellin' straight |
But the more I pull on your hand and say |
The more you pull away |
Dry your eyes mate |
I know it’s hard to take but her mind has been made up |
There’s plenty more fish in the sea |
Dry your eyes mate |
I know you want to make her see how much this pain hurts |
But you’ve got to walk away now. |
