Empty Stare

I look at her with desire
while i try to ignore the truth
she looks at me with an empty stare
alone talking to myself pretending she's there
the truth is i can't have what i want
she slips away more and more everyday
i can't stop it, there's no words to say

i watched her closely and came to a conclusion
this can't be good
I'm not doing things i know i should
change things with me, i know we could
the earth is spinning and we can't stop time
between you and me there's a very thin line
stay close, i know you don't know
but don't worry I'll find some way to let it show

she doesn't know how bad it kills me inside
when she passes by how my eyes open wide
does she know this?
lift my head up and pretend like i don't care
until she gives me the empty stare

God help me, it's in your hands
help her understand
she makes me smile but also frown
but i won't give in
they say you can't keep a good man down
