The Eyes by Matt Duke Lyrics

In a moment your eyes threw arms around my aching heart
In a moment your eyes drew colors from a world once dark
And the moment was mine to wrap you up and say that I love you
The moment was there til the moment fell apart
In a moment your eyes caught fire as we danced and swayed
In a moment your eyes said kiss me in a warm embrace
And the moment was life in happenstance and that star-crossed storyline
Recycled former moments that we made
Good news only braces you for bad news
I know things are too good to be true
And how you hope for the best like a heart beats better once outside the chest
Just please don't ask me if I feel the same
The moment his eyes said everything he'd longed to say
The moment his eyes brought tears to yours as he walked away
And the moment your father packed up and tried to slip out in the night
The moment it stuck and turned into your plight
The moment my mind said you'd do best to hide away
The moment the dark came roaring back and called my name
And the moment it died our love we said those things we didn't mean
That moment crushed the things that you believe
Good news only braces you for bad news
Now I know that was hardly an excuse
All of the answers are really only breaking mortar
Building up a wall between me and you
The moment my eyes saw memories in this empty room
The moment the love we buried, I want it back
The moment I tried to speak you turned and set your gaze on me
And in a moment your eyes hurt mine the way mine hurt you
