in the eyes (i try) Lyrics

Clifford the big red car

A fire started in the yard

I bet you feel heavy now

With those metal things weighing you down

I don't know much about film

Really shit at staying still

And I'm overly aware

I can feel my heartbeat and your stare

And I can't look you in the eyes

But I'm so far from blind

It's so hard but God I try, try

I'm open to what you are

Let you touch me at the bar

I'm showered with what I'm not

Thinking that I am when you are gone

There's rodents inside my head

Focus on your mouth instead

Pick up what I put down

Never have felt softer on the ground

And I can't look you in the eyes

So I'll let you decide

It's so hard but God I try, try

And yeah, I told myself I'd not

Add to everything you've got

No, I will not get caught

Getting emotional

Avoid the urge to hide

And let them be your guide

Black holes are open wide

Don't let them see inside

And I can't look you in the eyes

I know that I'm not right

It's so hard but God I try, try

And sometimes when I say goodnight

I almost tell a lie

I'm not tough I don't know why I try, try
