I’d planned on marrying him since I was just a kid
Though why he proposed the way he did…
 
There were words that I thought you were dying to say
But after that moment something faded away
 
She was hanging on your arm and I’m not sure the reason
But when she was gone it was like a change of season
 
And then when the secret was finally revealed
You told me the crush was over and my heart reeled
 
Why should it ache for what could never could be?
Why would it mourn for you and for we?
 
And still your eyes haunt me.
 
There were moments and secrets and silences and lies
There were glances and touches and god how time flies
 
You made me laugh like I never had before
You offered your friendship but I kept taking more
 
And then there we were in the glory of spring
On a beautiful evening you faced up to this thing
 
This feeling you had that I know you saw in me
But my eyes were veiled and I just couldn’t see
 
Couldn’t get beyond the past or the impending vow
Maybe I wanted to tell you but didn't know how
 
Misinterpretation was never the case
Just some hopeless attempt for me to save face
 
And still your eyes haunt me.
 
When you walked off and left me there twisting my ring
I was scared of what the future would bring
 
In that moment I needed to grab onto something real
Needed someone to help me figure out what to feel
 
But when your lips met mine I suddenly didn't care
Your arms wrapped around me and my fingers in your hair
 
Your eyes so full of hope even as you spoke
Knowing me so well - knowing I would choke
 
And still your eyes haunt me.
 
You let me go despite what you felt
Perhaps that was when my heart began to melt
 
There was no way to marry him - not after that night
And I've been wishing ever since I could make it all right
 
Now that you're gone I'm living on my own
Telling myself that all along I should have known
 
Because you told me so many times before you went away
In your eyes it was clear every single day
 
And still your eyes haunt me.
