Don't Look in My Eyes

Don't look in my eyes
And hold my stare,
To make me think of another time
And wish I was there...

When the two of us were convinced
(Or at least I was)
That what we felt for each other
Was a destined love...

Your eyes, they take me to that time
When I wished the world away
And that you were the very reason
That I woke each and every day

I'd long to be in your arms,
As long as you let, I dared,
Please look the other way-
Please release this stare...

Why? Why do you look at me
So intensely that I want to hold you again?
Why not just let me go-
Please just let it end...

Don't keep me on a string
And don't let me jump at your beaconing call
Don't continue to look in my eyes
Just to build my hopes - After all

You have someone at home
That you'll won't leave.
So don't look in my eyes
Like we're meant to be.

I can't be your fool
And I won't stay on the side
We have to part ways
So please don't look in my eyes.
