In my eyes

by EmylnThorn   Sep 2, 2007


I wake up and go to sleep with teardrops in my eyes
and i really don't see the point of life
in love with him, but he doesn't see
all the things he could love about me

he loves that I'm not her, and that i always give in
he loves that i let him play his games, always let him win
but now the game's got higher stakes, and i cant afford to lose
but even now i know, i could never ask you to choose

her face haunts my dreams these days, the girl Ive hurt so much
and she doesn't know it yet, but shes not the only one whose felt your touch
but you got bored and walked away, gave no explanation
you left me alone and broken, giving no consolation

the tears clung to my eyes, as i sat in the waiting room
wishing i had your hand to hold, not feel like i was facing doom
but i was there alone, because you wouldn't come
terrified that someday soon, I'd have a daughter or son

and even then my love for you, didn't waver a single inch
i made excuses like I'd always done, made you out to be a prince
and as i lay there on that table, and felt the metals cold
i broke down and had to cry, because i was all alone

and only when i got out, and felt hollow and bruised inside
i could finally see you for what you were: an boy with a pickup line
you never loved me, you never cared
you would never leave her, you were way too scared

and i felt dumb and hopeless, because i had nothing left
besides the memory of how it was, back when things were best
and i wish you hadn't turned out to be, just like all the rest
just wanted a notch in your bedpost, not the heart in my chest

i went back home and took those pills, you gave to make me comply
and i downed that bottle you made me drink, so id do you AND another guy
and i got in the bed were you broke me and made me cry
i went to sleep and didn't wake up, with teardrops in my eyes
