Matt Duke - The Eyes lyrics

In a moment your eyes threw arms around my aching heart In a moment your eyes drew colors from a world once dark And the moment was mine to wrap you up and say that I love you The moment was there til the moment fell apart In a moment your eyes caught fire as we danced and swayed In a moment your eyes said kiss me in a warm embrace And the moment was life in happenstance and that star-crossed storyline Recycled former moments that we made Good news only braces you for bad news I know things are too good to be true And how you hope for the best like a heart beats better once outside the chest Just please don't ask me if I feel the same The moment his eyes said everything he'd longed to say The moment his eyes brought tears to yours as he walked away And the moment your father packed up and tried to slip out in the night The moment it stuck and turned into your plight The moment my mind said you'd do best to hide away The moment the dark came roaring back and called my name And the moment it died our love we said those things we didn't mean That moment crushed the things that you believe Good news only braces you for bad news Now I know that was hardly an excuse All of the answers are really only breaking mortar Building up a wall between me and you The moment my eyes saw memories in this empty room The moment the love we buried, I want it back The moment I tried to speak you turned and set your gaze on me And in a moment your eyes hurt mine the way mine hurt you
