What If You Could Read My Eyes

I have spent nights awake trying to figure out my life
Sometimes I feel like I’m paying a price too high
Moments ago I felt the security of your arms
But now I feel like you’re holding me too tight

We stand so close watching the full moon
A moment many lovers would call perfection
I don’t want to stay here but I see you do
And I don’t say anything I’m afraid of your reaction

I feel you look at me and I turn to look at you
The color of your eyes is such a beautiful shade
I feel myself trapped in your intense gaze
A gaze that I have been trying so hard to escape

Your smile melts my heart yet it makes me cry
I don’t want to hurt you yet I want to say goodbye
You’re always wiping away the tears on my cheeks
But deep down I know my eyes will never dry

I hear you ask me if something is bothering me
There’s so much I want to tell you yet so much I hide
And I have fears inside of me that you’d never know
My biggest fear being what if you could read my eyes

You don’t know what you’d see in this darkness
My eyes aren’t a door to the heaven you believe in
That’s why I’m afraid of you finding out about me
My heart is the place where I’ll never let you in
