Eyes

Give a gift, expect one back
Too bad mine was a heart attack.
The lovely tune, the strum of strings
It's all too familiar, it's not what it seems.

I feel like maybe I'm just too scared
Those times the tears never appeared.
Like walking on top of broken glass
Or hearing the screams from your faded past.

And maybe that's just me, but still I'll say,
I will find a different way to love
I will find a better way to care.
And the most important thing they say is, they don't understand.

Watch the shadows move side to side
Listen to them laugh as they walk by
They know you aren't, but they don't care.
Why is it so hard for you to hear?

And maybe that's just me but still I'll say,
I will find a different way to love
I will find a better way to care.
And the most terrifying thing they say is that they understand.
