when you're not looking

her face is flooded
with tears that fall
like rain during the sunrise.
her eyes are blue,
her hair’s like honey
her cheeks are rosy.
as she looks for an answer.

and what do you say to her
when you’re not listening?
what do you see
when you’re not looking?
where do you go
when you’re never with her?
what do you see in other girls?

this worlds not fair
the way it spins at a tilt
she’s always on the downside.
when she looks at you
she feels so up, up, up.
but everythings going so fast.
and you’re not even looking her way.
she’s just a good friend.
you love her in so many wrong ways.

look around you sweetheart.
buying her some chocolate
when some knew asshole is breaking her heart
just won’t cut it anymore.
she looks at you so silently, she’s longing
for just one more day with you.
there’s nothing she wants more
than a kiss in the sunset.

maybe she won’t wake up crying anymore.
maybe when she falls asleep
her starry eyes will close,
inside she’ll smile.
at least that’s what she hopes.
cuz when she thinks about you
she feels so close.
but deep down she knows
you’re so far away.
but what can you say?
