Eyes lyrics

I can see through your lies
Bluff, and turn your face away
You run and hide
But now, your heart is right there on your sleeve
I know the cracks in your facade are in your eyes, in your eyes, in your eyes

You could pay the price
Take your own advice
Have you made your choice?
I've made mine

Because when I arrive
I, I'll bring the fire
Make you come alive
I can take you higher
Can you tear your gaze away from your reflection
And see me, look at me, promise me

It's written on your face
Liar, cheater, stole yourself away
You can't escape from your own shadow
I can smell your fear
The venom on those honey lips still burns, oh it burns, how it burns

You could pay the price
Take your own advice
Have you made your choice?
This is mine
Because when I arrive
I, I'll bring the fire
Make you come alive
I can take you higher
Can you tear your gaze away from your reflection
And see me, look at me, promise me

Reality check, it's time to wake up
No clouds in the sky are gonna raise you up
You keep losing all these battles that you've already won
Even when you're staring slack-jawed at the blinding sun
Clear the cobwebs from the catacombs I'll wrack your brains
Take a good, long listen to that last refrain
It's like I'm standing on the seaside calling out your name
But you don't hear it, and you don't listen unless your sunglass breaks
You think you're hanging by a thread
But your feet are on the ground
Tears the breath from you screaming but your voice don't make a sound
I'd rather dance on pins and needles wearing eggshell shoes
Than spend another minute longer, unable to choose
Do I help you out?
Or do I leave you be?
It doesn't matter what I say, you're crippled willingly
I'm running out of reasons that'll make you take a stand
This isn't something you can overcome by holding my hand
Because when I arrive
I, I'll bring the fire
Make you come alive
I can take you higher
Can you tear your gaze away from your reflection
And see me, look at me, promise me!

Because when I arrive
I, I'll bring the fire
Make you come alive
I can take you higher
Can you tear your gaze away from your reflection
And see me, look at me, promise me

Because when I arrive
I, I'll bring the fire
Make you come alive
I can take you higher
Can you tear your gaze away from your reflection
And see me, look at me, promise me

I used to wish I could be
As cool as you
I used to wish I could say
All the things you do
But I can't and I won't live a lie
No, not this time
