All the memories are safely packed
And my dreams are neatly folded away.
I've got nothing to show that I came very close
To a love that might have worked out okay.
All the tables and chairs,
They stand empty and bare
And there isn't any sign you were here.
So just walk to the door
But try not to get too near.
You might look in my eyes
And see all the pain: the sadness deep inside.
Don't look in my eyes
'Cause that's where I keep the tears that I can't hide.
And if you just go
It'll be alright. I know
I'll get through the night.
I'll even smile as we say our goodbyes.
Just don't look in my eyes.
All our photographs are stowed away
And the letters have been burned in the fire.
There is nothing 'round here that would make you believe
We had nights of tender love and desire.
If it seems to be grey, well I like it that way;
There is nothing to remind me of you
So just walk to the door but be sure, whatever you do.
Don't look in my eyes
And see all the pain, the sadness deep inside.
Don't look in my eyes
'Cause that's where I keep the tears that I can't hide.
And if you just go
It'll be alright. I know
I'll get through the night.
I'll even smile as we say our goodbyes.
Just don't look in my eyes.
