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. |
