India.arie - These Eyes lyrics

rate me

These eyes never saw you leavin

This heart is in need of some healing

These arms are letting you go

Our life is the greatest story never told

How many more ways can I explain this to you boy

We had had this conversation several times before

I will except nothing less than your complete respect

If you cannot give me that then maybe I should step

These eyes never saw you leavin

This heart is in need of some healing

These arms are letting you go

Our life is the greatest story never told

All this cryin all this fightin simply ain't my style

Though you're one of the most important people in my life

I love you from the day we met, I know you love me too

But at this point walking away is the best thing we can do

These eyes never saw you leavin

This heart is in need of some healing

These arms are letting you go

Our life is the greatest story never told

Are we meant to be man and wife?

The answer I don't know

Of life's many mystery's what intrigues me the most

Is who our children would have been

I guess we'll never know

Even as I walk away I'll always keep the hope

These eyes never saw you leavin

This heart is in need of some healing

These arms are letting you go

That's life

That's the way the story goes

Truth is every relationship is a lesson

Truth is I saw it coming but it hurts anyway

Truth is I'm not the reason you're so angry

Truth is you're not the reason I'm so passive

Truth is I've got to take back my power

Truth is

The reason why it hurts so bad

to walk away from you

These eyes I never saw you leavin

This heart my heart is in need of some healing

These arms, These arms are letting you go

That's life is the greatest story never told

Our love is the greatest story never told

Our life is the greatest story never told

And that's the way the story goes...
