The Eyes - Matt Duke

The moment your eyes

Threw arms around my aching heart

The moment your eyes

Drew colors from a world once dark

The moment was mine to wrap you up

And say that I love you

The moment was there

Until the moment fell apart

The moment your eyes

Caught fire as we danced and swayed

The moment your eyes

Said kiss me in a warm embrace

The moment was life

And happenstance and that star crossed storyline

Recycled for more moments to be made

Good news only braces you for bad news

I know that things are too good to be true

And how you hope for the best

Like a heart beats better

Once outside the chest

Please don't ask me if I feel the same

The moment his eyes

Said everything he'd longed to say

The moment his eyes

Brought tears to yours as he walked away

And the moment your

Father packed up and tried to

Slip out in the night

The moment it stopped

And turned into your plight

The moment my mind

Said you'd do best to hide away

The moment the Dark

Came roaring back and called my name

And the moment It died

Our love

We said those things we didn't mean

That moment crushed the things

That you believe

Good news only braces you for bad news

Now I know that that was hardly an excuse

All of the answers are really

Only brick and mortar

Building up a wall 'tween Me and You

The moment my eyes

Saw memories in this empty room

The moment the love

We buried I want it back

The moment I tried to speak

You turned and set your gaze on me

And in the moment your eyes

Hurt mine the way mine hurt you
