Clouded Eyes

I guess I should start letting you go
Though I wish I were letting you know
I knew you knew me only
For what I’d show you, lonely
Your lonely soul ain’t truly
What you thought he was

Open hearts, your clouded eyes
A room of friends, a room of spies
I thought I knew but solely
On what they’d tell me only
I thought I knew you boldly
But you’re just skin and bones

And truly
With a mind that’s so unruly
You can’t act like you own me
Then act like you don’t know me

It’s a twisted game you’re playing
With different new rules you keep on making
I wish you would tell me
Wish you would go to hell
He is not the devil, baby
But he looks too good

And he’s angry
He’s scared and tired and crazy
You will never change him
Though you wish you could

Blocking doors, you’re better off
Begging on all fours, you’re better off
Shouting your name, you’re better off
Baby, wait for the fame, you’re better off

I don’t build hope on the broken-hearted
C’est la vie, the day we parted
You’re not one for confrontation
But more for inspiration
Fabricate your feelings
And bypass something healing

And I worry ‘bout you
That you’ll miss the world around you
That you’ll kiss whomever found you
And not just me

Clouded eyes, I'm better off
Harsh goodbyes, I'm better off
Walk of shame, I'm better off
Remember my name, I'm better off
