I look into the eyes and see
The pain that once lived there
And knowing this, how care you be
So reckless in my care?
I see inside your soul and know
The hurt that tore you apart
And if I said "I told you so"
It'd only break your heart
How can you do the things you do
Knowing how things will be
How can you be without a clue
To how very much you hurt me
Everything I do for you
I do with all my love
Every time the hurt is new
The noose tightens from above
How can I let this all go on?
How do I hold back my fears?
With each and every coming dawn
I learn to hold back my tears
Because every time you cut yourself
Deep down inside I bleed
And whether it's for shame or wealth
It's now the life I lead
No matter what I'll still be here
And even if you don't see
You'll always have at least one deaf ear
So I'll just have to leave you be
