The city watches me through windows lit at night A thousand eyes behind the glass, reflecting my own light They see me walking empty streets, coat pulled against the rain Knowing every step I take is circling back again The neon signs are witnesses to promises I broke Their glow a silent jury in the lies I never spoke Every shadow on the pavement has a story it could tell Of how I smiled and said I'm fine while falling straight to hell A thousand eyes Soft lies reflected in the windows I pass by Hard goodbyes staring back when I can't lie A thousand eyes Seeing the truth I try to hide Following me home tonight The traffic lights change color like the moods I can't control Red for all the warnings, green for letting go Yellow in between, the hesitation where I stay A thousand blinking eyes that know I'll never walk away I feel them on my back when I turn the corner slow Judging every silence, every place I didn't go They know the messages unsent, the calls I let ring through The thousand eyes of strangers who see more than I do A thousand eyes Soft lies reflected in the windows I pass by Hard goodbyes staring back when I can't lie A thousand eyes Seeing the truth I try to hide Following me home tonight In my room the mirror adds another pair to see The hardest eyes of all are the ones belonging to me They watch me undress slowly, watch me fall into the bed A thousand eyes inside my head repeating what you said
