Tired eyes
They say the eyes are the window to the soul
So why do I see dirt and regret every time you look at me?
Staring into your soul
Into a flower bed with dead weeds, no life in sight
You made me feel like a queen, and now I feel like that flower bed
I could have sworn your eyes were blue when we first met
As full of life as you made me feel
But now I see they're as brown as the dirt within your soul
Each kiss, each touch, each sweet lullaby you ever told me are now as dead as the flowers you neglected
I call them lullabies because they helped me sleep, but now that you're gone
I know that they're not real and I don't sleep
My heart has become the weeds
I wish I didn't love you
Because now my green thumb is itching and I just want to bring you back to life again
Seeing those blue eyes used to give me hope
But now the light in your eyes have gone out and I'm left without a dream
No goodbye, just fruitless lies
I loved and still love you for you
Even with your dead and tired eyes
I still look for that gleam of hope to return to your eyes
For you to love me again
But you just had to go, and it hurt to see those eyes go dark
Leaving my world so cold and alone
But they're still here
Maybe not with me
But those tired eyes are still alive, and one day they'll shine for me.
