The silence is killing me,
I wish someone would speak,
I'm staring at my feet,
My lips are sealed.
But I'm burning up inside,
My heart, I attempt to hide,
And oh how I have tried, but it's in my eyes.
And before i know it,
I\'ve gone and done it,
Given it away, just a bit
- yeah.
When my eyes can't tell a lie,
And keeping shut isn't right,
I can't screw them up tight,
Can't put up a good fight.
They open up to my soul,
And spill everything, new and old,
Won't do as they're told,
And in them it really shows,
I hope you don't know.
Even if I look away,
They still go ahead and say,
Anything that's on my brain,
Here I go again.
I'm hanging on my words,
Cos I think they'll make it worse,
But my eyes get there first,
And with yours they converse.
And by now it's too late,
They've gone and said it,
All I can do is wait...
My eyes give it all away,
They spil what I wanna say,
One look and it's too late,
In my head it replays.
Hope you didn't read them right,
I should sellotape my eyes,
See I'm not telling lies,
Just don't want you to see inside,
Through the window that's my eyes.
Why can't I say it?
The words just slip away.
But my eyes they show it,
There's nothing left to say.
And by now it's too late,
They've gone and said it,
All I can do is wait...
