Sad Eyes

i've driven this way home
a thousand times before
but i always get lost
coming home from your house
recite the words you said
these thoughts go through my head
as i ask myself if i should open
my mouth
'cause i can always make you laugh
and i would never want to lose that
it seems things always fall apart
and i don't want you to be the girl i'm scared to look at

i've driven to your house
a thousand times before
i'm always lost in thought
walking up to your front door
you're waiting with a smile
i've been waiting all this while
waiting on myself
waiting on myself

another day goes by
and i ask the question why
and wonder if you know the way i feel about you
can't let my feelings out
but there's just something about
the way you make me feel at home
when i'm around you
but if it has to be this way
at least i know
that i'm the only one who gets to see you cry
and if i can't be in your arms
then i'll be next to you
yeah i'll be next to you
