In my eyes

You talked about yourself in a way that put me down.

Things can't be the way they once were now...

The way you danced put stars in the sky on a stormy night

Now your hanging eyes will never see another light.

Sadness is dangerous, just like your smile.

You faked all the laughter for a hundred miles.

Life isn't for the weak and you could never get on your feet.

I see the terror you had when i look in the mirror.

The terror that plagued you when you tried to be happy.

I see it in me.

Bruised arms and bruised lines, I see you in my eyes.

You're in my eyes.
