My Eyes

Christina Perri · Lovestrong. (Deluxe Edition) [2011]

My eyes are so tired

They should sleep

But they won't

They don't

And they won't let me pass this up



My eyes are stuck open in love

They want more of him

They need less of this

They're everything

They're unbelievable



My eyes are lonely and cold

And they're young

And they're old

They're looking for a way out

And a moment to let you in



They want nothing to do with me

And only want to do with him

And they're hungry

I'm warning

And I'm scared



And they won't let me thrive

They'll need everything you own

Make it all so real

By learning to feel



What's not really happening

What's going on is much more

Than I ever hoped for

Ever hoped for



And I'd much rather

Imagine it

Then not live at all
