I Cannot Look Away Lyrics

your eyes they fill the room with sorrow
yet I cannot look away
my hands are wet, I cannot breathe
I love you though you have not said a word
you cannot know the fear that haunts me this very second
how you are what I've been running from
I know this yet I cannot look away

your mouth it opens but I cannot hear a single word
for the pounding of my heart
rehearsing scenes of you and I

chest to chest sweat pouring wildly
passing time we do not sense
the fear of separation feels exactly as the sting of death
now that we've found each other
now that we've found each other
but I turn
close my eyes for a moment
and then she is gone
I'm still wrapped in fear
for what I may never feel
what I'll never hold, never know
oh the questions in my heart running wild
till the end of time
I cannot look away
my days are not the same
my nights spent wondering what might have been
if I had stepped toward those eyes
I wonder... perhaps it never ends.
