Ancient Eyes
Sitting in my car on a busy street
I'm hoping nobody's looking at me
As the tears silently stream down my bruised face
Look in the mirror as I wipe it away
Won't let the pain inside go to waste
As the feelings overflow so gently
I didn't see you looking over at me
Those ancient eyes caught my eye
Looking back at me from the passenger side
Asking if I'm okay
The traffic lights oh they turn to green
But I'm stuck here in this old dusty seat
As I feel my broken heart tear at the seams
I look away yeah I'm trying to hide
You keep staring back knowing deep inside
That the pain is raw and real in this life
Oh I know you could sense all my fear
Those ancient eyes caught my eye
Looking back at me from the passenger side
Asking if I'm okay
I'll open up down the window and let you in
Not going to let the pain win
Or let my mind spin away
Coz those ancient eyes
They caught my eye
Those ancient eyes
They caught my eye
As you drove away regret bubbles inside
I wish that I had let you in my life
I wished I'd let you in you know I wished I'd let you in
Ohhhhhh
Those ancient eyes caught my eye
Looking back at me from the passenger side
Asking if I'm okay
I'll open up the window and let you in
Not going to let the pain win
Or let my mind spin away
Coz' those ancient eyes
They caught my eye
Those ancient eyes
They caught my eye
Those ancient eyes
They caught my eye
Those ancient eyes
They caught my eye
I'm hoping nobody's looking at me
As the tears silently stream down my bruised face
Look in the mirror as I wipe it away
Won't let the pain inside go to waste
As the feelings overflow so gently
I didn't see you looking over at me
Those ancient eyes caught my eye
Looking back at me from the passenger side
Asking if I'm okay
The traffic lights oh they turn to green
But I'm stuck here in this old dusty seat
As I feel my broken heart tear at the seams
I look away yeah I'm trying to hide
You keep staring back knowing deep inside
That the pain is raw and real in this life
Oh I know you could sense all my fear
Those ancient eyes caught my eye
Looking back at me from the passenger side
Asking if I'm okay
I'll open up down the window and let you in
Not going to let the pain win
Or let my mind spin away
Coz those ancient eyes
They caught my eye
Those ancient eyes
They caught my eye
As you drove away regret bubbles inside
I wish that I had let you in my life
I wished I'd let you in you know I wished I'd let you in
Ohhhhhh
Those ancient eyes caught my eye
Looking back at me from the passenger side
Asking if I'm okay
I'll open up the window and let you in
Not going to let the pain win
Or let my mind spin away
Coz' those ancient eyes
They caught my eye
Those ancient eyes
They caught my eye
Those ancient eyes
They caught my eye
Those ancient eyes
They caught my eye
