“ACHING EYES”

I follow you with aching eyes
As love’s last ember slowly dies
No sighs, no tears, no long goodbyes
We’ve done this all before

Seduction lays a heavy snare
Leads you where you wouldn’t dare
Lays all you thought was hidden bare
We’ve done this all before

I know not where this path will lead
How many times a heart can bleed
But now I’m not the one you need
We’ve done this all before

BRIDGE
You didn’t plan, you didn’t think
When you pressed to make this cold chain link
And as you watch me slowly sink,
Do you think you are absolved?

Abandon me with vacant lies
As love’s last ember slowly dies
No sighs, no tears, no long goodbyes
We’ve done this all before
