Lies And Eyes

He regrets having no regrets
And his long nights on the outside
Letting letting it slide slide
One more time

He can’t stand it when you talk to him
In that voice that sounds like your mother
He’s watching your mouth move
He turns words into white noise
He blocks you out

What do you want?
What do you want to know?
Make a decision
It never feels like the right time to go
You think he’s a liar
So save your sorrow

He wants to want nothing
Nothing to do with a woman
You fall in love with his lies and eyes
And you think that he listens

While you act like you are losing your mind
Over whatever truth you find to be a lie
As he fades out of the room
Into his mind

Pick up the pieces of these words shattered across the floor
With careful hands you know these words are sharp
And you can read the blood

It spells out everything about a man
Who he is and where he’s been
You watched his eyes ten thousand times
But you don’t see
Maybe you’re wrong
