Behind Your Eyes - Attalus

I’ve got a little secret deep inside

Buried under pages of a life

I wouldn’t read again, but can’t unwrite

And you, you tell me that you’ve got your secret, too

I see it every time your eyes pierce through

Eyes that are as kind as they are blue

And they always tell the truth

And I feel a peculiar sense of deference inside

'Cause you found me out, but you aren’t about to cut out ties

And I feel in your look of grace my heart and soul collide

So tell me, is it you I see?

Or is it God behind your eyes?

I’ve got demons in the closet from my past

Buried underneath a heap of ash

Memories of a life I let collapse

And you, you tell me that you’ve got your demons, too

And you know exactly what I’m going through

Well, your heart must be as big as it is true

To forgive the way you do

And I feel a peculiar sense of deference inside

'Cause you found me out, but you aren’t about to cut our ties

And I feel in your look of grace my heart and soul collide

So tell me, is it you I see?

Or is it God behind your eyes?

Bridge

If looks could kill then consider me dead

All my knowledge slain, all excuses vain

My pride is crushed by words I’ve said

And I feel a change, it’s a scary thing
