Look Me Straight In The Eyes

After all the talks we had there is something I wonna know
Something that I have never understood please tell me before I go
I don't know why you believed all these lies
Tell me why and look me straight in the eyes

All the years you've been working so hard to make your dreams come true
but the efforts didn't pay off and in the end you decided what you have to do
I don't know why...

Did you think she would follow you and leave it all behind
all these promises didn't mean nothing at all how could you be so blind
I don't know why...

Don't you think that time will heal all the wounds from the past
but please don't ask me how long the pain will last
There are sparks in your memory and they will go away
day by day

Open your eyes and see the truth the future has begun
all the years of waiting and hoping the time is gone
I don't know why...
