(Intro - whispered)
Don’t look at me like that.
Like you already know
every fucked-up part of me.
(Verse 1)
There you are,
leaning against the wall,
Black on black,
like you don’t need anyone at all.
Smoke in the air,
bass shaking the floor.
I tell myself don’t look,
then I look some more.
You haven’t touched me,
haven’t said my name,
But something in your stare
feels painfully the same.
I should know better.
I know your type.
But God fucking damn it—
those fucking eyes.
(Pre-Chorus)
Look away.
That’s what my head keeps saying.
But you’re watching me
like you see what I’m hiding.
(Chorus)
Those fucking eyes,
they’re gonna ruin me tonight.
Dark like sin,
but there’s something broken
buried underneath the light.
Those fucking eyes,
dragging me across the room.
You haven’t said a word,
but somehow I feel known by you.
I know you’re trouble.
Maybe so am I.
Maybe that’s why I see myself
in those fucking eyes.
(Verse 2)
You finally move
slow through the crowd.
Everybody disappears
when the music gets loud.
You stop too close,
smirk like a loaded gun.
Say, “You keep staring.”
Fuck.
Nowhere left to run.
I ask what you’re thinking.
You laugh and look away.
For half a fucking second,
I watch your armour break.
And there it is,
that hurt you try to hide.
Jesus fucking Christ.
Those fucking eyes.
(Chorus)
Those fucking eyes,
they’re gonna ruin me tonight.
I came here wanting danger,
now I wanna know why
you look so dead inside.
Those fucking eyes,
I swear I’ve worn them too.
That look that says,
“Don’t love me,
I’ll disappoint you.”
I know that warning.
I’ve told the same damn lie.
Maybe that’s why I can’t leave
those fucking eyes.
(Breakdown - screamed)
STOP.
FUCKING.
LOOKING.
AT.
ME.
LIKE YOU KNOW ME.
LIKE YOU SEE
EVERY FUCKING THING
I’M TRYING NOT TO BE.
I WANTED YOUR BODY.
I WANTED ONE NIGHT.
I DIDN’T FUCKING PLAN
TO CARE WHAT’S BEHIND—
THOSE.
FUCKING.
EYES.
(Bridge - soft)
Maybe I don’t want to fix you.
Maybe you don’t need saving.
Maybe I just want to sit beside you
when your hands won’t stop shaking.
You don’t have to tell me.
You don’t have to lie.
Just don’t look at me like you love me
if you’re leaving me tonight.
I’ve survived strangers.
I’ve survived goodbyes.
But I don’t know if I’d survive
missing those fucking eyes.
(Final Chorus)
Those fucking eyes,
they didn’t ruin me tonight.
They made me want tomorrow
when I only wanted tonight.
Those fucking eyes,
now you’re underneath my skin.
Somewhere between wanting you
and seeing you,
I let you in.
Fuck the red flags.
Fuck being wise.
For once I don’t wanna run
from something that feels right.
So if you’re gonna break me,
at least don’t fucking lie.
Look at me
like you did the first time—
with those fucking eyes.
(Outro - whispered)
That’s the problem, isn’t it?
It was never how
you looked at me.
It was realizing
I wanted you
to keep looking.
