Dry Eyes
Another day
Another way that you made me the villain
Of the perfect story book in which you’re living
Should’ve known I never had a say
Another day
I remember how you spoke of your past princes
And the ways that they all fell short of your wishes
A list that just grew longer by the day
Even still it hurts sometimes
I know I shouldn’t
But I think of who I am in your mind
Even still it takes some trying
To catch a moment where I’ve thrown all of my thoughts aside
I wish that I’d just cry
I wish that I’d just cry
‘Cause it hurts to sit so still
And overanalyze
I wish that I’d just cry
Wish that I’d just cry
‘Cause then my mind might be quiet for the first time in a while
But I’ve still got dry eyes
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
You know I think of all those nights that I drove home down 29
And how things never felt quite right
Then you fell cold
Now I feel blind
Should I believe a single thing you told me back when you were mine
Oh
Yesterday
I threw away your things and your phone number
So that I’ll never feel compelled to call you
You’ll never hear a thing I say
You wouldn’t listen anyway but I’m alone here
Wishing I’d just cry
Wishing I’d just cry
‘Cause it hurts to sit so still
And overanalyze
Wish that I’d just cry
Wish that I’d just cry
‘Cause then my mind might be quiet for the first time in a while
But I’ve still got dry eyes
