Greenest Eyes

Waking up each morning with confusion in my eyes Wind is biting through to wave hello See in my reflection an exterior of lies Hope this shaky feeling doesn't show As if I have to tell you, there was little left to say It was stilted conversation colored blue You were sitting down and you got up to walk away Tried to stay but I was right behind you I was right behind you Tension in the stare I cannot bear So close to helpless as the songs I sing Inside me ring Final words are boring, never touching Oh you whispered something in my ear I could not hear you Girls with the greenest eyes The first time you have kissed Our quiet softest sighs A song for all those who shot and missed Waking up each morning to a multitude of ties People always have to change and grow Seeing my reflection in your sullen, infected eyes Makes me wonder if you'll ever know Tried to change relationship with words gray and bland Words that never seem to rest or rhyme Turned around and still I hope you try to understand I was right behind you every time I was right behind you Tension in the stare I cannot bear So close to helpless as the songs I sing Inside me ring Final words are boring, never touching Oh you whispered something in my ear I could not hear you Girls with the greenest eyes The first time you have kissed Our quiet softest sighs A song for all those who shot and missed
