Glaze In My Eye

You saw me sitting all alone
At the bar with my hat tipped low
Drinking a glass of gin with no ice

And even though I sipped it slow
It would burn like a volcano
That's when you came, sat down and said hi

And you didn't even recognize
Who I was but I didn't mind
'Cause I didn't feel like signing autographs (no, no-no)

You saw me as a normal guy
And you treated me oh, so nice
You just wanted to know why I looked sad

That's when I said

I'm sad 'cause I hurt a soul tie
And when she left, my soul died
Thought we'd be together for life
Thought we'd be together for life

I lost her because of my damn pride
I'm a man, I can't cry
But look at me now
With my face in the ground and a glaze in my eye

I was so tough, 'til she called my bluff
Packed up all her stuff
And left me here with a glaze in my eye

My whole life I was taught (oh)
A man don't show his heart
But that's a foolish talk
'Cause now I got a glaze in my eye

And it's harder to hide
My runny nose and my throat is dry
But I'm still trying not to let it show
(Still I try not to let my feeling show)

I'll just blame it on the alcohol (ooh)
'Cause it makes me think I'm strong
But that's some bull, and we both know (we both know)
We both know

I can't believe I told some waitress
All of my personal business
And I really ain't believe you'd understand, but you did understand

You said everyone has issues
Then you passed me a tissue
And told me that crying is what shows that I'm a real man, oh yeah

I'm sad 'cause I hurt a soul tie (oh)
And when she left, my soul died (oh, she left me, yeah)
Thought we'd be together for life
Thought we'd be together for life

I lost her because of my damn pride (yeah)
I'm a man, I can't cry
So, look at me now
With my face in the ground and a glaze in my eye

I was so tough, 'til she called my bluff (ooh)
Packed up all her stuff
And left me here with a glaze in my eye

My whole life I was taught (oh, oh)
A man don't show his heart
But that's a foolish talk
'Cause now I got a glaze in my eye

I was so tough, 'til she called my bluff (I'm sorry, baby)
Packed up all her stuff
And now I got a glaze in my eye

My whole life I was taught
A man don't show his heart (that's a lot, baby)
But that's a foolish talk
'Cause now I got a glaze in my eye

(I'm sorry, baby)
