Lyrics
My Eyes Are Dry
Why do I have to ask for your attention
I can't forget all the years you won't mention
I wasn't ever on top of your list
My heart is breaking when I think about what we've missed
Why couldn't you see
I only wanted you to include me in your life
Over the years after I've cried out and used up my tears
My eyes are dry, my eyes are dry
Traveled so far now without your direction
You used to help me to make my decisions
I understand that we all move along
You better give me a bit of your time, before I am gone
Why couldn't you see
I only wanted you to include me in your life
Over the years after I've cried out and used up my tears
My eyes are dry, my eyes are dry
Can we be close again like I remember
Open the door of tomorrow together
Everything changes I'm sure you agree
We'll carry on but please don't you forget about me
Why couldn't you see
I only wanted you to include me in your life
Over the years after I've cried out and used up my tears
My eyes are dry, my eyes are dry
I can't ignore it, not the mistakes, no
But I'm strong to forget it, before it's too late
Why couldn't you see,
I only wanted you to include me in your life
Over the years after I've cried and used up my tears
My eyes are dry, my eyes are dry
