I can’t look into your eyes anymore Because they don’t lie the way that I could When I realize I’m irrelevant And how you are moving on I guess I have to pretend that I’m over you too
But how could I just let this die And leave you behind When you’re all that I’ve ever wanted This mystery Of what we could be Resonates with the parts of me that still dream
I won’t look into your eyes anymore But oh how I covet your stare That hellish gaze Reminds me for days Of how I was passionately nothing more than your fleeting memory
And I’d love to stop wishing every night For my dichotomy of fantasies: That love might give us another chance Or that I could stop hearing the melody behind our memories
How can I just let this die And leave you behind When you harmonize with my very soul Your every note Are songs I wrote Long before they had names or I even knew yours
I’ve never wanted to look into your eyes any more Than when I think of the love we should’ve had If I had set aside my pride, Or if you had really tried To breathe so my love didn’t smother you
Do you think that I could let this die And leave you behind If I channeled my heart into moving on If I listened to your enemies Maybe then a part of me Wouldn’t forfeit the battle of forgetting your face
I know that I should really try To say goodbye To the ghost of the idea of who you are But I think it’s my will For her to haunt me still So there’s a chance I might unite the ghost with your body
