Your Eyes

Your Eyes by Ariel Gray


Am I pushing too hard
Are my movements too fast
Hold me still
It's my bad habit
I've never had so much before
Tell me, am I moving too fast
I'm listening - well am I

I sense you
I can do this, I promise
I won't run
Promise me you won't run either

I can only crawl
Hit too many times before
Everything has been too much before
It was taking me down
Now you've brought me back up
You're a blind savior

I was treading for my life
You came up before I hit bottom
I could have fallen down that rabbit hole
Then I saw your face

I knew it would never be the same
You kissed away my scars
Your hiding my pain - don't you know
So promise me you won't become this pain that I know so well
Because I can't kiss it away like you did for me
I just need you to know that my eyes will close with your changing feet
I'll feel the earth spread as I fill it's cracks

I was so tired till you woke me up
I'm so glad that you did
You made this the beginning of everything

It's such a simple thing
Now I won't be forgotten
I want you
It's not so hard to say, but do you love me too

I never want to see you walk out
You have become my everything
I'm wrapped in your strings
I'm written in your chords
So play me out
Just understand this isn't a song in my head
I'm that warmth in your sheets
The skip in your heart
I'll be right there every time you turn around

It's such a simple thing
Now I won't be forgotten
I want you
It's not so hard to say, but do you love me too

Because I love you more than you will ever know

- Gray (myself)
