Bright Eyes

It's ok if your bad dreams wake me up at 2 AM
And I don't mind if you need to cry before you can
Talk about them or anything else, you see
I'll make some coffee, use your mug, and try to answer all those questions you've got inside, bright eyes

I know it's tough when things don't seem right
And I feel your pain tonight
Trust me...if it hurts you, I own that double
But I'm here, we can talk it out, try to figure what it's all about, and maybe...just maybe...we'll get a little closer to what you need, bright eyes

I hope you can't tell that it tears me up
But I'll bet you can - we share so much
The wiser part of me knows
You need to hurt to see sometimes
While the other part just wants to scream

I hope you'll understand when I say "I need some time"
Even though it breaks my heart
When those bright eyes turn aside
It doesn't mean that I don't care...I'm watching you from the side, I swear, because I love you so much more than I love myself, bright eyes
