lyrics

Close your eyes and all I see is your dark eyes gleaming up at me.
Something special or so you say till you turned your back and walked away

I'm waiting on someone to fill in all these blanks
Spaces keeping me down, keeping me hang around
To take all of these un-spelt letters and make something whole
But some words only you know

What did you mean to me, proclaiming that I was free
When you lay me down in my tears to drown
What did you mean to me proclaiming that I was free

Everybody stand back, laugh at me
And take a look at all I can be

Close your eyes and all I see is your dark eyes gleaming up at me.
Something special or so you say till you turned your back and walked away

These guessing games you play are a mystery to me
And everything you try and discover is just to cover up your controversy

What did you mean to me, proclaiming that I was free
When you lay me down in my tears to drown
What did you mean to me proclaiming that I was free

Now everybody just take a damn second look
And take a leaf out of my written book
Everybody stand back, laugh at me
And take a look at all I can be
Now everybody just take a damn second look
And take a leaf out of my written book

I'm wait for your love, I'm waiting for your love
So come and cut me down
I'm wait for your love, I'm waiting for your love
So come and cut me down
