That Look I Lost

When she's staring down the bad end of the barrel
Of yet another long and loaded night
Boys, you better really sell it when you tell her
"Everything will be alright"
Everything's gonna be alright

When every scratch in those rose tinted glasses
Is looking like another crack in the sky
Gets hard to hold on so long to nothing
Without reaching for a reason why

And I'll spend the rest of my life
Dying to find
That look I lost, that look I lost
Dying to find that look I lost in her eye

Some love ain't enough
My money don't stack
We threw everything at it
Our sad little matter of fact
It was the matter of fact way that she said it
Was a sight to unsee
An unforgettable "forget it"
Just like she flipped a light out on me

And I'll spend the rest of my life
Dying to find
That look I lost, that look I lost
Dying to find that look I lost in her eye

It used to look for all the world like I had a next time around
Look alive, son
Ain't no dry run
This thing's going down

I'll spend the rest of my life
Dying to find
That look I lost, that look I lost
That look I lost, that look I...
That look I lost, that look I lost
Dying to find that look I lost in her eye
