You hide your eyes
so I can't see
the love not in there

for me,
for me.

I remember a time,
you held a love
in your heart

for me,
for me.

And in your eyes,
you welcomed me,
come in, come in,

my lover,
my friend,
my everything

that matters,
that matters.

But now when I look
into your eyes
to show my love

and see yours for me,
you only turn away,

you turn away.

You turn away
uncomfortably,
for you don't want
me to see

the vacancy,
the vacancy,

where true love once dwelled,

and flourished and grew

and flourished and grew.
