Behind Your Eyes

When I analyze the truth behind your eyes,
Your lies are clear as day in front of me,
and dark as night behind.
Why am I... hesitant to walk away?

Sometimes I see, in the mirrors of your eyes,
a coward looking back at me.
I am the perfect tool, to use, and toss away.
You've built this house of cards,
and left it falling down on me.
Why do I protect you,
What should I do?

If you were to analyze the truth behind my lies,
the tears might flow freely from your eyes.
You might see that I'm in love with you,
and that this heartache overrides my life.
Sometimes I think you realize the way I feel inside,
and you apologize - before leaving me behind.

When I analyze the truth behind your eyes,
your lies are clear as day in front of me,
and dark as night behind.
Why do you hold onto me,
when you don't want there to be a "we".

How selfish can you be,
to ask so much from me,
and let me sacrifice,
so you can be happy
while I'm sitting here, steeped in misery.
Why am I... hesitant to walk away?
