Streets - Dry Your Eyes lyrics

rate me

In one single moment your whole life can turn 'round <br />

I stand there for a minute starin’ straight into the ground <br />

Lookin’ to the left slightly, then lookin’ back down <br />

World feels like it’s caved in – proper sorry frown <br />

Please let me show you where we could only just be, for us <br />

I can change and I can grow or we could adjust <br />

The wicked thing about us is we always have trust <br />

We can even have an open relationship, if you must <br />

I look at her she stares almost straight back at me <br />

But her eyes glaze over like she’s lookin’ straight through me <br />

Then her eyes must have closed for what seems an eternity <br />

When they open up she’s lookin’ down at her feet <br />

<br />

Dry your eyes mate <br />

I know it’s hard to take but her mind has been made up <br />

There’s plenty more fish in the sea <br />

Dry your eyes mate <br />

I know you want to make her see how much this pain hurts <br />

But you’ve got to walk away now <br />

It’s over <br />

<br />

So then I move my hand up from down by my side <br />

It's shakin’, my life is crashin’ before my eyes <br />

Turn the palm of my hand up to face the skies <br />

Touch the bottom of her chin and let out a sigh <br />

‘Cause I can’t imagine my life without you and me <br />

There’s things I can’t imagine doin’, things I can’t imagine seein’ <br />

It weren't supposed to be easy, surely <br />

Please, please, I beg you please <br />

She brings her hands up towards where my hands rested <br />

She wraps her fingers round mine with the softness she’s blessed with <br />

She peels away my fingers, looks at me and then gestures <br />

By pushin’ my hand away to my chest, from hers <br />

<br />

Dry your eyes mate <br />

I know it’s hard to take but her mind has been made up <br />

There’s plenty more fish in the sea <br />

Dry your eyes mate <br />

I know you want to make her see how much this pain hurts <br />

But you’ve got to walk away now <br />

It’s over <br />

<br />

And I’m just standin’ there, I can’t say a word <br />

‘Cause everythin’s just gone <br />

I’ve got nothin’ <br />

Absolutely nothin’ <br />

<br />

Tryin’ to pull her close out of bare desperation <br />

Put my arms around her tryin’ to change what she’s sayin’ <br />

Pull my head level with hers so she might engage in <br />

Look into her eyes to make her listen again <br />

I’m not gonna fuckin’, just fuckin’ leave it all now <br />

‘Cause you said it'd be forever and that was your vow <br />

And you’re gonna let our things simply crash and fall down <br />

You’re well out of order now, this is well out of town <br />

She pulls away, my arms are tightly clamped round her waist <br />

Gently pushes me back and she looks at me straight <br />

Turns around so she’s now got her back to my face <br />

Takes one step forward, looks back, and then walks away <br />

<br />

Dry your eyes mate <br />

I know it’s hard to take but her mind has been made up <br />

There’s plenty more fish in the sea <br />

Dry your eyes mate <br />

I know you want to make her see how much this pain hurts <br />

But you’ve got to walk away now <br />

It’s over <br />

<br />

I know in the past I’ve found it hard to say <br />

Tellin’ you things, but not tellin’ straight <br />

But the more I pull on your hand and say <br />

The more you pull away <br />

<br />

Dry your eyes mate <br />

I know it’s hard to take but her mind has been made up <br />

There’s plenty more fish in the sea <br />

Dry your eyes mate <br />

I know you want to make her see how much this pain hurts <br />

But you’ve got to walk away now.
