The Streets - Dry Your Eyes lyrics
[The Streets - Dry Your Eyes lyrics]
In one single moment
Your whole life can turn 'round
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
Proper sorry frown
Please let me show you how we
Could only just be for us
I can change and I can grow
Or we could adjust
The wicked thing about us is
We always have trust
We can even have an open
Relationship if you must i look at her
She stares almost straight back at me
But her eyes glaze over like
She's looking straight through me
Then her eyes must have closed
For what seems an eternity
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
I turn the palm of my hand
Up to face the skies
Touch the bottom of her chin
And let out a sigh
'Cause, 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, I beg you, please
She brings her hand up towards
Where my hands rested
She wraps her fingers 'round mine
With the softness she's blessed with
She peels away my fingers
Looks at me and then gestures
By pushing my hand 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
'Cause everything's 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 and
Look into her eyes to make her listen again
I'm not gonna fuckin' just fuckin'
Leave it all now
'Cause you said it'd be forever
And that was your vow
And you're gonna let our things
Simply crash and fall down?
You're well out of order now
This is well out of town
She pulls away my arms that
Tightly clamp 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 telling 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, it's over
Your whole life can turn 'round
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
