For Other Eyes

[Verse 1]
I don't know what I would do
If this letter should fall into
Other hands than it should pass through
For other eyes

[Verse 2]
He said, "It was nothing, it's over and done"
The rotten worm was burrowing still
Its spirit invades me, bleeding me white
For other replies

[Bridge]
I searched his pockets
I searched his eyes
I searched his wallet for clues or lies
And I found a number that I somehow dialed
A woman answered, a woman smiled
And she hung up on the silence un-perplexed
Innocently spun her Rolodex
I dialed again
I could not resist
Revealing just the dentist's receptionist

[Verse 3]
One day we'll laugh about this or maybe we'll curse
But there's one thing and it's making it worse
It's the lack of forgiveness that I can't disguise
No matter how well he lies

[Verse 4]
And we don't know each other anymore
And when we touch our lips feel sore
I question the longing left in his sighs
For other eyes
