Your Brown Eyes

Lies aren't good for a relationship...
Guess you can call it paranoia
But can you see
How I'm hurting
Beneath me
How do I cross over
When I'm falling deep
In the water
That's drowning me
It's times like this I can't pass
But it's something about you

Your brown eyes
Hide away all the lies
Those puppy eyes
Lead me away
They leave my heart
Knotted in ties
They give my stomach
Little black butterflies
Your brown eyes

It's okay
You can tell me
I promise I won't judge
I can cope now
I can agree now
Why you kept this from me
Everything will be okay
You just need to let me see
I can help with anything you need
But please don't lie to me

Your brown eyes
Hide away all the lies
Those puppy eyes
Lead me away
They leave my heart
Knotted in ties
They give my stomach
Little black butterflies
Your brown eyes

So maybe next time
I'll be here
Don't need to worry
I'll be right here
But then you had your chance
You risked and lost romance
I took and searched for love
Got burned and had enough
But I'll still remember

Your Brown eyes
