Lyrics

Give Me Your Eyes

[Verse 1]

Oh girl, look at yourself

What have you done?

What have you become?

Well, I couldn't say

Slow down and think of your heart

Where do you go?

Now, how am I supposed to know

I'm always looking away

[Chorus]

Give me your eyes

So I can see me straight

Give me your eyes

I can't tell night from day

Give me your eyes

So I can see me straight

Give me your eyes

And watch me walk away

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 2]

I took a look at myself

Nothing inside

Except for cigarettes and wine

Where there should be a life

You've been watching me for a while

And you like what you see

It's in the eyes of the beholder

Now give them to me

[Chorus]

Give me your eyes

So I can see me straight

Give me your eyes

They seem to light my face

Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Bridge]

Oh mirror, mirror upon the wall

Who is the fairest of them all?

Mirror, mirror made no reply

Mirror went black and cracked from side to side

Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 3]

Oh girl, look at yourself

What have you done?

What have you become?

You know the camera don't lie

[Chorus]

Give me your eyes

So I can see me straight

Give me your eyes

I can't tell night from day

Come give me your eyes

So I can see me straight

Give me your eyes

And watch me walk away

Yeah

[Outro]

Give me your eyes

Give me your eyes

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah
