Artist/Band: The Streets
Lyrics for Song: Dry Your Eyes
Lyrics for Album: A Grand Don't Come for Free [2004]



In one single moment, your whole life can turn round

I stand there for a minute, staring straight into the ground

Looking to the left slightly, then looking 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

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 and down by my side

It's 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'm begging, please



She brings her hands up towards where my hands rested

She wraps her fingers around 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

Because everything is just gone

I've got nothing

Absolutely nothing



Trying to pull her close out of bear desperation

Put my arms around her, trying to change what she's saying

Pull my head level with hers so that she might engage in

Look in to her eyes to make her listen again



I'm not gonna fucking just fucking leave it all now

'Cause you said it'd be forever, and that was your vow

And your 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, tightly clamped round 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, 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
