you stare into my eyes
but nothing is there
no one is there to look back at you
the emptiness in my eyes
reflects the emptiness in my heart
the void of feeling for you

you stare into my eyes
but i'm just not there
i've escaped into my own world without you
a world without your touch
a world without your kiss
i don't want it anymore


and even though you try and try and try
to reach me
with promising words and gentle eyes
my choice remains to never trust you again
after a past full of lies


you reach for my hand
and I pull it away
shock fills your eyes
and I back away

as I close the door behind me
I hear you say
"I love you"

but I don't look back

it's too little too late
