Those pale blue eyes cut right through me
Before they soften
And turn to that question look again
I see them searching for answers
In these tiny green slits I use to see

I can’t tell you
What you want to hear
Because I can’t bring myself
To make the words come out

I’ve seen the way you look at me
Just how I look at you
I’ve felt your hand on my shoulder
Bringing comfort on my
Less than better days

I’ve seen him come around
With his hand on your thigh
On those three martini evenings
At the local bar
Just like you’ve seen me with my hand
Around her waist
Still making sure your eyes capture mine

But I know it’s no good for me
To get caught up
In those pale blue eyes of yours

But I still can’t say those words
I know you want to hear
I can’t bring myself
To say what is still true
I just can’t bring myself
To say what shouldn’t be

Despite the fact this keeps me up nights
This sinking feeling
In the pit of my stomach
Simply won’t go away
My legs are shaking
And they won’t stop
Until I tell you what’s on my mind
