The city watches me through windows lit at night
A thousand eyes behind the glass, reflecting my own light
They see me walking empty streets, coat pulled against the rain
Knowing every step I take is circling back again
The neon signs are witnesses to promises I broke
Their glow a silent jury in the lies I never spoke
Every shadow on the pavement has a story it could tell
Of how I smiled and said I'm fine while falling straight to hell
A thousand eyes
Soft lies reflected in the windows I pass by
Hard goodbyes staring back when I can't lie
A thousand eyes
Seeing the truth I try to hide
Following me home tonight
The traffic lights change color like the moods I can't control
Red for all the warnings, green for letting go
Yellow in between, the hesitation where I stay
A thousand blinking eyes that know I'll never walk away
I feel them on my back when I turn the corner slow
Judging every silence, every place I didn't go
They know the messages unsent, the calls I let ring through
The thousand eyes of strangers who see more than I do
A thousand eyes
Soft lies reflected in the windows I pass by
Hard goodbyes staring back when I can't lie
A thousand eyes
Seeing the truth I try to hide
Following me home tonight
In my room the mirror adds another pair to see
The hardest eyes of all are the ones belonging to me
They watch me undress slowly, watch me fall into the bed
A thousand eyes inside my head repeating what you said
