Verse 1
You smiled at me on a Monday night
Said my name like it felt just right
We talked for hours, watched the city glow
And for a moment, I thought I knew
But Tuesday came with a different face
A different voice, a different way
You looked right through me like a stranger does
Like none of yesterday was real enough
Pre-Chorus
I'm standing in the same place
But every day the world has changed
Chorus
'Cause one of you loves me
One of you stays
One of you tells me
We'll be okay
But another wants somebody else
And another puts my heart through hell
I'm trying my best, giving all I am
But I can't be every different man
And it's breaking me slowly
Watching hope disappear
Through different eyes, different eyes
Every time you're here
Verse 2
I learned your favorite songs by heart
Memorized the pieces, every part
Tried to be the person each one needs
But I'm losing myself in between
Some days you hold me close enough
To make me think that love's enough
Then somebody else takes your hand away
And I'm left with words I cannot say
Pre-Chorus
How do I fight for a heart
When every road leads somewhere apart?
Chorus
'Cause one of you loves me
One of you stays
One of you tells me
We'll be okay
But another wants somebody else
And another puts my heart through hell
I'm trying my best, giving all I am
But I can't be every different man
And it's breaking me slowly
Watching hope disappear
Through different eyes, different eyes
Every time you're here
Bridge
I know it's not as simple as choosing a side
I know you're fighting battles hidden deep inside
But I am only human, and I'm running out of light
Holding on to someone who changes every night
Maybe love ain't always enough to survive
When half of your world wants me gone from your life
Final Chorus
One of you loves me
One of you cries
One of you swears that
I'm the right guy
But another is already gone
And another's singing someone else's song
I gave you my heart, every piece I had
Still ended up with empty hands
And it's breaking me slowly
But I finally see
Love can't grow where it has to compete
With different eyes, different eyes
Outro
So I'll remember the one who smiled
On that Monday night for a little while
And let the echoes fade with time
Different eyes... goodbye.
