The House on 65th Street

Hi, I hope you don't mind
I caught your eyes from the other side of the bar
And I can say with great certainty
They're the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen in my life
And were I a more charismatic man with some confidence
I'd crack a joke and make you smile, but I will just
Say hi and walk on by

They remind me of a girl I knew before you
She had some eyes an awful lot like yours
We shared a house on 65th street
Though it was small, it was home
And we were very much in love
Or so I thought, I didn't know
That every time that she told me that she loved me
That her eyes were hiding the lie
She'd tell herself each time she went to sleep
"One more night on these dirty sheets
And then I'll say goodbye"
But she never said goodbye

And the morning would come
She didn't have the guts
She didn't love me but she couldn't bear to say goodbye
So she's wake up, put on her mask
Pretend to be the love of my life
And this would go on for weeks on end
Until the night I asked her to marry me
She told me the truth for the very first time
She said I'm sorry I don't love you no more
Packed up and walked right out the door

She was all I had
She was rid of me
And all I had left
Are the memories of the house we shared
On 65th street

So that's why I can't trust your eyes
'Cause I don't know what they hide
