I can still feel your eyes on me
As I poured my poor heart out
Yet you showed no signs of hearing
No understanding past the surface
And I realize that’s the perfect symbol
Of how things always were between us
All the work I put into
Learning all I could about you
Everything you ever said
Just made me want to know you more
But somehow when I opened up
When I let you in my soul
That was when you turned away
I couldn’t see the truth before
Still don’t know the reasons why
But that one moment came unbidden
Back to me to be a sign
Of all the effort that I wasted
Calling out that what I lost
That I never really had
