Your Eyes are my paradise.
Calm and cool
Strong and True
They make me feel so insecure,
They make me feel so confident.
The make me think of memories;
of places gone and of time spent.
They make me sad and nostalgic.
They make me bold and curious.

But, most of all, when I look in Your Eyes,
I know I'm looking at You and You alone.

--and it makes me miss you.
makes me want you.
makes me comfortable and safe,
but revealed and out of place.

They make me see the being
I once wished to be
And the me
You couldn't bring Yourself to want.
In a future You just couldn't see.

Your Eyes are my Paradise
Your Eyes are my Condemning.
A Condemning I could never have planned
that I just never knew.
A Condemning I now feel each day
I know I lost You.

I have heard the best lyrics you could read
can never be forced or fake.
They must be real,
tell how you truly feel,
you have to put your pride
and your emotions at stake.
They must come from the heart.

Music written from the heart
clears away senselessness from your head,
and makes you realize
the Truth behind each thought,
each act.
It sorts out lies
from fact,
and made me realize,
my Paradise is locked away,
far out of my reach.
My Paradise is locked in tight,
held captive by Your Eyes.

I must get it back from you.
No longer can I compromise.
Fact is,
I'm wanting what I
cannot have:
My Paradise locked in your eyes.
In You
In - us.

I must close off
My Paradise
that I will not get back,
and build a new one,
much improved,
from what our paradise lacked.

No,
not a stab at You, at all!
Just...reality.
I only now know the extent,
of how badly
You
hurt me.
