Lying Eyes

Eyes behind me, I hear you speak

Telling me things I cannot bear

Tell me I'm everything I wish I wasn't

Take the strength away from my arms

My heart takes these stories as evidence for hell

May I somehow forget



draft 1:

I don't see your eyes but your eyes speak volumes

I can hear them telling me everything I don't want to hear.

What they tell me is that I'm worth less than the man I am.

They tell me about the strength you've taken away from my arms.

Your eyes tell my heart stories I can't help but believe.

I can only hope now to forget, to leave your eyes in your head where they belong.
