These Eyes - Dakota

One more lonely night

Seems like they’re getting longer

I reach out for the light

Knowin' I’m not any stronger

I traced the times we had before

And I wind up wanting more

I can’t remember losin' touch

I just remember never lovin' this much

Look in these eyes

And tell me my promises were lies

If you don’t know me by now

You better find a way somehow

Look right in my face

And tell me that my heart’s out of place

I wish you could see what I see

Through these eyes

On a stronger night

I pretend I’m gettin' over you

And I believe it too

Just like good news that was overdue

Suddenly, it’s there right before my eyes

As my made-up story dies

You never really saw in me

The man who never was

What he knew he could be

Just look in these eyes

And tell me my promises were lies

If you don’t know me by now

You better find a way somehow

Look right in my face

And tell me that my heart’s out of place

I wish you could see what I see

Through these eyes

Out of patience, you’re not alone

None so blind that will not see

(so afraid to meet) so afraid to meet my gaze

For fear of seeing me

Now I understand about

The windows of the mind

Sometimes to know what’s ahead

You gotta see what’s behind

Just look in these eyes

And tell me my promises were lies

If you don’t know me by now

You better find a way somehow

You better look right in my face

And tell me that my heart’s out of place

I wish you could see what I see

Through these eyes

(Now look in these eyes)

Look in these eyes

(tell me my promises were lies)

And tell me my promises were lies

(If you don’t know me by now)

If you don’t know me by now

(you better find a way somehow, some way)

You better find a way somehow

Look right in my face

(look at my face)

And tell me that my heart’s out of place

(My heart’s in the right place)

I wish you could see what I see

Through these eyes
