lyrics

VERSE 1
Woke up this morning, just the birds and me,
and we could see that you were long gone,
you'd slipped away oh so discreetly
I'm sure I heard the door close but I didn't even try
cause I've known it from the moment I looked into your eyes

CHORUS
Looking to the future
tears welled behind those lies
I should've seen right through you
when I looked in your goodbye eyes
your goodbye eyes
when I looked in your goodbye eyes
your goodbye eyes, I was looking
When it comes to warnings
I can see that I was right
Cause i've seen that look before
in your goodbye eyes

VERSE 2
were you ever gonna tell me, give a reason why
or would I Have wait to hear it,
have to read between the lines
I've got an emptyness inside me,
now I've seen through your diguise
ya see I'm sure that I have known it, since I looked into those eyes

CHORUS

BRIDGE

despite all the things that you tell me
I think I still love ya
I can't seem to live without ya
if there's just one thing I could tell ya
It would be that I love ya
would it bring ya back to me for good

CHORUS
