My Weird Eyes by Melodie Yvonne
The brightness it frightens me most everyday
‘Cause my weird eyes they work in mysterious ways
And sometimes it hurts so bad I’d gouge them out
But I can’t cause then I can’t see what you’re about.
See my weird eyes they work in mysterious ways
But I’ll never tell you the things they might say
And I’ll see all your follies but you won’t see mine
I’ve just been at this longer than you’ve had the time
And yeah sometimes it hurts so bad I’d gouge them out
But I’ll never betray to you what I’m about
Just remember I see when you can’t see yourself
So don’t hide yourself from me like everyone else
The brightness it frightens me most everyday
‘Cause my weird eyes they work in mysterious ways
And sometimes it hurts so bad I’d gouge them out
But I can’t cause then I can’t see what you’re about
No I can’t cause then I can’t see what you’re about.
