In Your Eyes
By Shaney McCoy © 2009

So many emotions I’ve seen in your eyes
From the day you said that you loved me ‘til the day I said goodbye
So adoring and so sincere, I used to feel the warmth of your stare
But then my world started falling apart when I looked and saw nothing but anger there

Chorus:
In your eyes
I’d look away
I’d hold my breath or just walk away
I’d give in
And I’d pray
Maybe things would be better on a better day
In your eyes

So tell me what is the difference between you and me
Could we be looking at the same life and see things so differently
What are you seeing when you look right through me with that far-away gaze
That makes every time I look at you a challenge to meet the rage

(repeat chorus)
I’d bite my tongue
And whatever needed doing I could get it done
But now your pain and your tears
Won’t make me forget what I’ve seen through the years
In your eyes
