Lies in Your Eyes

[Verse 1]
Why do you look me in the eye and lie?
I see your cheeks are burning bright and red.
Was it never real? Just a ghost of a sigh?
That’s what everyone around us has said.
My throat is dry, the words just won't come out,
Trapped in this circle of silence and doubt.

[Chorus]
I’m holding your hand then I’m letting it go,
Your words are a weight that is pulling me low.
Why do you lie while you're looking at me?
Your eyes are like knives, they’re all I can see.

[Verse 2]
Every promise you made is a heavy stone,
I’m carrying the burden all on my own.
Your gaze is a mirage, a trick of the light,
Fading away in the middle of the night.
I search for the truth in the lines of your face,
But I’m only finding an empty space.

[Chorus]
I’m holding your hand then I’m letting it go,
Your words are a weight that is pulling me low.
Why do you lie while you're looking at me?
Your eyes are like knives, they’re all I can see.

[Bridge]
Salt water is falling, it’s staining my skin,
Losing the battle I thought I could win.
I’m crushing this ticket, I’ve paid for the fare,
To a place called nowhere, I’m already there.

[Final Chorus]
I’m holding your hand then I’m letting it go,
Your words are a weight that is pulling me low.
Why do you lie while you're looking at me?
Your eyes are like knives, they’re all I can see.

[Outro]
Why do you lie...
Caught in the shadow of all that we knew.
I see the truth now, and it’s finally through.
