The House on 65th Street Lyrics

Hi

I hope you don't mind, I caught your eyes from the other side of the bar

And I can say with great certainty they're the most beautiful eyes I've seen in my life

And were I a more charismatic man with some confidence

I'd crack a joke to make you smile

but I will just say "hi" and walk on by

They remind me of a girl I knew before you, she had some eyes an awful lot like yours

We shared a house on 65th street, though it was small, it was home, and we were very much in love

Or so I thought, I didn't know

That every time that she told me that she loved me that her eyes were hiding the lie

She'd tell herself each time we went to bed "one more night on these dirty sheets and then I'll say goodbye"

But she never said goodbye

And the morning would come, she didn't have the guts

She didn't love me, but she couldn't bear to say goodbye

So she'd wake up, put on her mask, and pretend to be the love of my life

And this would go on for weeks on end

Until the night I asked her to marry me, she told me the truth for the very first time

She said "I'm sorry, but I don't love you no more"

Packed up, and walked right out the door

She was all I had

She was rid of me

And all I have left

Are the memories of the house we shared on 65th Street.

So that's why I can't trust your eyes, because I don't know what they hide
