my eyes - Christina Perri

My eyes are so tired

They should sleep, but they won’t

They don’t, 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

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

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

Than not live it all
