Sad Puppy Eyes

Verse 1)
You lean in close but don’t say a word
Your silence louder than anything heard
Try to act like you don’t care tonight
But your face giving everything away in the light

You laugh it off, play it cool and sweet
But your heart racing fast when you next to me
Every time I turn to leave
You pull me back with the way you breathe

(Pre-Chorus)
You don’t gotta say what you want inside
Your eyes already crossed that line

(Chorus — Hook)
Those sad puppy eyes
Pull me back every time
You don’t say it out loud
But your stare crosses lines

Those sad puppy eyes
Say you’re losing the fight
You want me — I know
From the look in your eyes

(Verse 2 — with echo)
You bite your lip when I walk your way (walk your way…)
Like you got something you wanna say (wanna say…)
Hands in your pockets, heart on display
Trying to hide what you feel but you can’t behave

You move real slow like you scared to fall
But your eyes begging for it all
Every glance burning through
Telling me things your mouth won’t do

(Pre-Chorus)
You keep pretending you’re alright
But your stare giving you up tonight

(Chorus)
Those sad puppy eyes
Pull me back every time
You don’t say it out loud
But your stare crosses lines

Those sad puppy eyes
Say you’re losing the fight
You want me — I know
From the look in your eyes

(Bridge)
We dance around what we both feel
Playing safe but nothing’s real
You want more but you’re afraid
So you look at me instead of saying my name

(Break)
Those eyes… those eyes…

(Final Chorus)
Those sad puppy eyes
Pull me back every time
You don’t say it out loud
But your stare crosses lines

Those sad puppy eyes
Say you’re losing the fight
You want me — I know
From the look in your eyes

(Outro)
You don’t gotta speak tonight
I already read your eyes
