Dry Your Eyes

Lyrics

In one single moment, your whole life can turn 'round
 I stand there for a minute, staring straight into the ground
 Lookin' to the left slightly, then lookin' back down
 The world feels like it's caved in, proper sorry frown
 Please let me show you where we could only just be for us
 I can change, and I can grow, or we could adjust
 The wicked thing about us is we always have trust
 We can even have an open relationship if you must
 I look at her, she stares almost straight back at me
 But her eyes glaze over, like she's looking straight through me
 Then her eyes must have closed for what seems an eternity
 When they open up she's looking down at her feet
 Dry your eyes, mate
 I know it's hard to take, but her mind has been made up
 There's plenty more fish in the sea
 Dry your eyes, mate
 I know you want to make her see how much this pain hurts
 But you've got to walk away now, it's over
 So then I move my hand up from down by my side
 Shaking, my life is crashing before my eyes
 I turn the palm of my hand up to face the skies
 Touch the bottom of her chin and let out a sigh
 'Cause I can't imagine my life without you and me
 There's things I can't imagine doing, things I can't imagine seeing
 It weren't supposed to be easy, surely
 Please, please, I beg you, please
 She brings her hand up towards where my hands rested
 She wraps her fingers 'round mine with the softness she's blessed with
 She peels away my fingers, looks at me and then gestures
 By pushing my hand away to my chest, from hers
 Dry your eyes, mate
 I know it's hard to take, but her mind has been made up
 There's plenty more fish in the sea
 Dry your eyes, mate
 I know you want to make her see how much this pain hurts
 But you've got to walk away now, it's over
 And I'm just standing there
 I can't say a word
 'Cause everything's just gone
 I've got nothing
 Absolutely nothing
 Trying to pull her close out of bare desperation
 Put my arms around her, trying to change what she's saying
 Pull my head level with hers, so she might engage and
 Look into her eyes to make her listen again
 I'm not gonna fuckin' just fuckin' leave it all now
 'Cause you said it'd be forever and that was your vow
 And you're gonna let our things simply crash and fall down?
 You're well out-of-order now, this is well out of town
 She pulls away my arms that tightly clamp around her waist
 Gently pushes me back as she looks at me straight
 Turns around so she's now got her back to my face
 Takes one step forward, looks back, and then walks away
 Dry your eyes, mate
 I know it's hard to take, but her mind has been made up
 There's plenty more fish in the sea
 Dry your eyes, mate
 I know you want to make her see how much this pain hurts
 But you've got to walk away now, it's over
 I know in the past I've found it hard to say
 Telling you things, but not telling straight
 But the more I pull on your hand and say
 The more you pull away
 Dry your eyes, mate
 I know it's hard to take, but her mind has been made up
 There's plenty more fish in the sea
 Dry your eyes, mate
 I know you want to make her see how much this pain hurts
 But you've got to walk away now
