Del Mccoury Band - Eyes That Won't Meet Mine Lyrics

They say a picture’s worth a thousand words

Tonight your silence speaks a thousand pictures

I won’t say that you lied to me

We all lie to ourselves, I don't give lectures



Chorus:

Just look at me

Don't try to protect me

I need an answer

Not a Valentine

Look at me

I'll find the truth there written

Written in the eyes

In the eyes that won’t meet mine



I know you mean well but my life has been hell

Wondering if the sky is finally falling

You know I love you but there ain't much of you left

For me you here somewhere else a callin'



So let’s put all the cards on the table tonight

Have some faith that no truth is past forgiving

I might be stronger than you think

I might not drive myself to drink

Who knows I might even go on living
