My Eyes Burn Lyrics - Stories And Alibis - Matchbook Romance

My eyes burn from these tears 

You'd think I'd learn over these years 

Good things won't last forever 

So what the hell am I supposed to do 

You only wanted the things I couldn't give to you 

And you had it all anyway 

So take take everything and leave me scrambling 

Reaching for something that wasn't there in the first place 

So take take everything and leave me scrambling 

Reaching for something that wasn't there in the first place 

Tell me I'm wrong when I say 

I can't expect you to spend forever with me 

I live for that single moment 

I take back everything I've said 

You wore those words on your lips 

As if they meant anything anyway 

Sometimes I feel I could drop off the face of the earth 

It seems I do more harm than good 

And I don't know if it's worth me losing sleep over this 

So take take everything and leave me scrambling 

Reaching for something that wasn't there in the first place 

So take take everything and leave me scrambling 

Reaching for something that wasn't there in the first place 

Tell me I'm wrong when I say it 

I can't expect you to spend forever with me 

I live for that single moment 

So take take everything and leave me scrambling 

Reaching for something that wasn't there in the first place
