album: "A Grand Don't Come For Free"
"Dry Your Eyes"
In one single moment your whole life can turn 'round
I
stand there for a minute starin’ straight into the ground
Lookin’ to the left slightly, then lookin’
back down
World feels like it’s caved in – proper sorry frown
Please let me show you where we could only
just be, for us
I can change and I can grow or we could adjust
The wicked thing about us is we always have trust
We
can even have an open relationship, if you must
I look at her she stares almost straight back at me
But her eyes glaze
over like she’s lookin’ straight through me
Then her eyes must have closed for what seems an eternity
When
they open up she’s lookin’ down at her feet
Dry your eyes mate
I know it’s hard to take but
her mind has been made up
There’s plenty more fish in the sea
Dry your eyes mate
I know you want to make
her see how much this pain hurts
But you’ve got to walk away now
It’s over
So then I move my hand
up from down by my side
It's shakin’, my life is crashin’ before my eyes
Turn the palm of my hand up to
face the skies
Touch the bottom of her chin and let out a sigh
‘Cause I can’t imagine my life without
you and me
There’s things I can’t imagine doin’, things I can’t imagine seein’
It weren't
supposed to be easy, surely
Please, please, I beg you please
She brings her hands up towards where my hands rested
She wraps her fingers round mine with the softness she’s blessed with
She peels away my fingers, looks at me
and then gestures
By pushin’ my hand away to my chest, from hers
Dry your eyes mate
I know it’s
hard to take but her mind has been made up
There’s plenty more fish in the sea
Dry your eyes mate
I know
you want to make her see how much this pain hurts
But you’ve got to walk away now
It’s over
And
I’m just standin’ there, I can’t say a word
‘Cause everythin’s just gone
I’ve
got nothin’
Absolutely nothin’
Tryin’ to pull her close out of bare desperation
Put my arms
around her tryin’ to change what she’s sayin’
Pull my head level with hers so she might engage in
Look
into her eyes to make her listen again
I’m not gonna fuckin’, just fuckin’ leave it all now
‘Cause
you said it'd be forever and that was your vow
And you’re gonna let our things simply crash and fall down
You’re
well out of order now, this is well out of town
She pulls away, my arms are tightly clamped round her waist
Gently
pushes me back and she looks at me straight
Turns around so she’s now got her back to my face
Takes one step
forward, looks back, and then walks away
Dry your eyes mate
I know it’s hard to take but her mind has been
made up
There’s plenty more fish in the sea
Dry your eyes mate
I know you want to make her see how much
this pain hurts
But you’ve got to walk away now
It’s over
I know in the past I’ve found
it hard to say
Tellin’ you things, but not tellin’ straight
But the more I pull on your hand and say
The
more you pull away
Dry your eyes mate
I know it’s hard to take but her mind has been made up
There’s
plenty more fish in the sea
Dry your eyes mate
I know you want to make her see how much this pain hurts
But you’ve
got to walk away now.
