Fire in Your Eyes

from Between These Times by The Rifts

	/

lyrics

Since I was born
I was always told
Never make a choice
That you can never learn to hold against your heart
I like to think that
Have lived against these words
But when I’m with you
I can’t help but tear my life apart

My life is like a song
It sings to you
Plays to you
Never makes you want to be alone
I try so hard
To make you smile
But you declare it lies
With fire in your eyes

What is the point?
In telling you the truth
You never listen to my words
It’s like you’re from a different universe
There’s so much that I want
But nothing that I’ll do
To make you realize
That all we’ve been through isn’t true

My life is like a song
It sings to you
Plays to you
Never makes you want to be alone
I try so hard
To make you smile
But you declare it lies
With fire in your eyes
With fire in your eyes (x4)
