Your Eyes Were Dry [Original Demo]

from Before I Was Fine by John Louis

/

lyrics

Tell me you're sorry
Tell me it wasn't intentional
Tell me my feelings don't matter at all
And I'm fine
Tell me about how
Things will be different
Tell me you'll change everything to stay mine
To stay mine

Oh, put your walls up
Try to knock mine down
I'm so distant now
You should've known
I'm a fighter
But I don't make a sound
I am dead on the ground because

I was blind to your guns
Aiming at me
At me
You stood by me, stoic
Watching me bleed
And I can't believe
That your eyes were dry

I was a fool, then
I should've known that a wedding ring
Only made arguments
Sting that much worse in the night
Take all my time, then
Take all the money I have
And use it to attend to my bride

Whatcha after?
If I don't matter to you
Peel out fast
I won't follow you

Take it off
Throw it down
Walk away
Tell me how you're gonna take your own life
"Fuck you, baby. Goodbye"
I'll be fine

Wish I knew from the start
How you'd tear out my heart
Did you know you were lying?
Did you play the part to be mine?
I'll be fine

Your hands haunt me
Tell me what we could be
What we could be
But your eyes prove to me
You are not what I need
And I can't believe
That your eyes were dry
