The Way She Looks at Me
I only lied to protect you,
And those star-lit eyes of yours,
They are the deepest blue,
And never want to hurt you,
And those star-lit eyes of yours.
When you cry, they shine bright blue,
And I hate those tears of yours.
I never meant to hurt you,
But you keep asking questions,
Giving me those uncertain looks,
With those star-lit eyes of yours.
They haunt me in my dreams,
But I’m only human, and I lie.
I’m only human,
But those alien eyes of yours...
And you keep asking questions,
Giving me the most certain looks,
With those star-lit eyes of yours.
I see you crying, and I swear to you,
But I can't stop lying,
And I'm trying to hide,
From those star-lit eyes of yours.
