Dry Your Eyes

In one single moment your whole life can turn around
I stand there for a minute staring straight into the ground
Looking to the left slightly then looking back down
The world feels like it's caved in, propped on a frown
Please let me show you where we can only just be for us
I change or I can grow or we can adjust
The wicked thing about us is we always have trust
We can even have an open relationship if we must
I look at her and she stares almost straight back at me
But her eyes glaze over like she looking straight through me
Then her eyes must have closed for what seems an eternity
And when they open up she's looking down at her feet

Dry your eyes mate
I know it's hard to take but her mind has been made up
There's plenty more fish in the sea
Dry your eyes mate
I know you want to make her see how much this pain hurts
But you've got to walk away now
It's over

So then I move my hand up from down by my side
Shaking, my life is crashing before my eyes
Turn the palm of my hand up to face the skies
Touch the bottom of her chin and let out a sigh

Because I can't imagine my life without you and me
There's things I can't imagine doing, things I can't imagine seeing
It weren't supposed to be easy... surely
Please.. please... just.. please

She brings her hands up towards where my hands rested
She wraps her fingers wround mine with the softness she's blessed with
She peels away my fingers looks at me and then gestures
By pushing my hands away to my chest...
From hers.

Dry your eyes mate
I know it's hard to take but her mind has been made up
there's plenty more fish in the sea
Dry your eyes mate
I know you want to make her see how much this pain hurts
But you've got to walk away now
It's over

And I'm just standing there
I can't say a word
Because everythings just gone
I've got nothing... absolutely nothing

Trying to pull her close out of bare desperation
Put my arms around her.. trying to change what she's saying
Pull my head level with hers so she might engage me
Look into her eyes to make her listen again
I'm not gonna simply just go and leave it all now
Because you said it would be forever and that was your vow
And your going let our things simply crash and fall down
Your well out of order now, this is well out of town

She pulls away my arms that are clamped around her waist
Gently pushes me back as she looks at me straight
Turns around so she's now got her back to my face
Takes one step forward... looks back... and then walks away

Dry your eyes mate
I know it's hard to take but her mind has been made up
There's plenty more fish in the sea
Dry your eyes mate
I know you want to make her see how much this pain hurts
But you've got to walk away now
It's over

I know in the past I've found it hard to say
Telling you things but not tell it straight
But the more I pull on your hand and say
The more you pull away

Dry your eyes mate
I know it's hard to take but her mind has been made up
There's plenty more fish in the sea
Dry your eyes mate
I know you want to make her see how much this pain hurts

But you've got to walk away now...
