These eyes, cry every night for you
These arms, they long to hold you again
The hurtin’s on me
And I will never be free, no
Gave a promise to me
Then you broke it, and you broke it

These eyes, watched you bring my world to an end
This heart, just could not accept and pretend
The hurtin’s on me
I will never be free, no
You took a vow with me
And you spoke it, when you spoke it

These eyes, are cryin’
These eyes have seen alot of love
But they’re never gonna see another
One like I had with you

These eyes, watched you bring my world to an end
This heart, just could not accept and pretend

These eyes, cry every night for you
These eyes
