Just Stare
If I look into your eyes
Just stare
If I don’t look anywhere else
Just stare
If I concentrate
Just stare
If I forget
Just stare
If I don’t think
Just stare
If I pretend
Just stare
If I
Just stare
Maybe something will change
Because when I
Just stare
I dissolve
Into the deep blue
Deep blue
Blue
And I can’t remember
How much pain
That I am hiding
Behind the mask
The one that smiles
When you walk in the door
The one that flirts and giggles
When you tease me
The one that asks you for a ride home
And smiles coyly
When you ask if it’s
“Just a ride home?”
The one that laughs
While we try to find back roads
And the one that is
“Just fine.”
All the time
So I’ll
Just stare
And then maybe
You’ll think
That my eyes are just watering
Maybe you’ll think that
I’m just fine
Maybe
But I hope not
I hope that you figure it all out
And I hope it hurts you
As much as it hurts me
But for now I’ll
Just stare
Because I don't know what else to do
Just stare
If I don’t look anywhere else
Just stare
If I concentrate
Just stare
If I forget
Just stare
If I don’t think
Just stare
If I pretend
Just stare
If I
Just stare
Maybe something will change
Because when I
Just stare
I dissolve
Into the deep blue
Deep blue
Blue
And I can’t remember
How much pain
That I am hiding
Behind the mask
The one that smiles
When you walk in the door
The one that flirts and giggles
When you tease me
The one that asks you for a ride home
And smiles coyly
When you ask if it’s
“Just a ride home?”
The one that laughs
While we try to find back roads
And the one that is
“Just fine.”
All the time
So I’ll
Just stare
And then maybe
You’ll think
That my eyes are just watering
Maybe you’ll think that
I’m just fine
Maybe
But I hope not
I hope that you figure it all out
And I hope it hurts you
As much as it hurts me
But for now I’ll
Just stare
Because I don't know what else to do
