My Eyes Burn Lyrics

Matchbook Romance My Eyes Burn

My eyes burn
From these tears
You'd think I'd learn over these years
Good things won't
Last forever

So what the hell am I supposed to do?
You only wanted the things I couldn't
Give to you
And you had it all anyway

So take, take
Everything
And leave me
Scrambling
Reaching for something that wasn't
There in the first place

So take, take
Everything
And leave me
Scrambling
Reaching for something that wasn't
There in the first place

Tell me I'm wrong when I say
I can't expect you
To spend forever
With me
I live
For that single moment

I take back everything I said
You wore
Those words on your lips
As if they
Meant anything anyway

Sometimes I feel
I could drop off the face of the earth
It seems I do more harm than good
I don't know if it's worth
Me losing sleep over this

So take, take
Everything
And leave me
Scrambling
Reaching for something that wasn't
There in the first place

So take, take
Everything
And leave me
Scrambling
Reaching for something that wasn't
There in the first place

[Instrumental]

Tell me I'm wrong when I say
I can't expect you
To spend forever
With me
I live for that single moment

So take, take
Everything
And leave me
Scrambling
Reaching for something that wasn't
There in the first place

So take, take
Everything
And leave me
Scrambling
Reaching for something that wasn't
There in the first place
