Stained Glass Eyes (Bare Bones)

The day you were born
I was shakin' like a leaf on an old oak tree
Then you stayed like a thorn
Red roses rainin' down til they flooded me

Even when we parted ways
You never turn, never turn your gaze
And I can still
I can still hear you say
Don't break that stare
I'm burnin' in your mirror tonight
No, don't you dare call it yearnin'
It's the fear that I'm right
Don't you try to forget all the things you regret
In those stained glass
Stained glass eyes
Hey

Had our fun, like a child
Just a couple of knives cuttin' through twenty years
No one ever gets to keep my smile
But you can peel it off me like one of your souvenirs

Even when we parted ways
You never turn, never turn your gaze
Oh, I can still
I can still hear you say
Don't break that stare
I'm burnin' in your mirror tonight
And no, don't you dare call it yearnin'
It's the fear that I'm right
Don't you try to forget all the things you regret
Like the ashes you spread ‘til you had nothin' left
Of those stained glass
Stained glass eyes
