Say It with Your Eyes

I can see you’re searching for

An easy way to say to me, “it’s over.”

But you don’t need to say a word,

And I don’t need to listen to your lies.

You say it with the way you walk,

The way you stand and the way you talk about me.

It only takes a single look

And you say it with your eyes.

 

Eyes that used to look at me

With so much love and honesty about them,

That penetrated to my heart and

Reached down to the deepest part of me.

But now they just give you away

And break down the last part of your disguise.

No matter what your lips may say, I see the truth.

You say it with your eyes.

 

Let me save you just a bit of

Trouble and embarrassment. It’s over.

When we think back over all the bad times

It’s really no surprise.

I should have seen it coming

Long before a single word was spoken.

The simple truth has been there in the honest way

You say it with your eyes.

 

Eyes that used to look at me

With so much love and honesty about them,

That penetrated to my heart and

Reached down to the deepest part of me.

But now they just give you away

And break down the last part of your disguise.

No matter what your lips may say, I see the truth.

You say it with your eyes.

A sad story, sad but honest.
