lyrics

I don’t see your eyes anymore
I used to see a window now I see a shutter door
I’d love to catch a glimpse
But it’s never like before
And I don’t see
Your eyes anymore

I haven’t seen your face in quite a while
That picture at my mother’s still greets me with a smile

You say
Why you got to break my heart?

Well I drove
Up to your favourite shrine
I bought me some trinkets
‘Cause I liked them at the time
And the man who took my money don’t believe
And he keeps on pushing statues
Cause he’s got that mouth to feed

And you say
Why you got to break my heart
Why you got to break mine

I haven’t heard your voice in quite some time
Your words are still familiar cause they
Taught me them in rhyme
Told to me as statements
Any question was declined
So I haven’t heard your voice in quite some time

Nowadays I sing a different tune
But I’m worried of these words
I’m worried of these words
Because you might be in this room
Saying
Why you got to break my heart?
Why you got to break my heart?
Why you tearing this apart?
Why you got to break mine?
