In Your Eyes

Sometimes secrets can be hard to find

They stay hidden so far out of sight

Spirits of the past keep haunting my mind

With invisible things I just can't fight

You say that you love me and I know it's true

For your smile doesn't give me a choice

But your eyes are the windows that tell on you

It comes from your heart's secret voice

I try to compete with the phantom of dreams

Someone that I've never met

At least when I'm with you that's how it seems

He's someone you can't forget

You always stare at some far away place

Some place I've never been

You're looking at me but seeing his face

I try, but I just can't get in

Sometimes secrets can be hard to find

The heart can wear a disguise

And though you've tried to leave him behind

I can still see him in your eyes
