Dry Your Eyes

In one single moment, your whole life can turn 'round I stand there for a minute, staring straight into the ground Lookin' to the left slightly, then lookin' back down The world feels like it's caved in, proper sorry frown Please let me show you where 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
