I forgot to look you in the eyes

I forgot to look you in the eyes

I forgot to look you in the eyes

I forgot to look YOU in the eyes when I lied right to your face.

I guess you didn’t notice, because you believed me,

You believed that I of all people would tell you the truth.

I forgot to look you in the eyes,

Because I could not bear to let you down again.

I promised you that I would never lie to you,

So I could not look you in the eyes as I told you with a sweet smile on my face

That I love you, that nothing would ever change that.

Except time does not heal all wounds,

So as we stood there facing each other

I looked away and counted the ticks of the clock.

Only that clock on the wall knows the truth,

And the truth is I forgot to look you in eyes as I lied to you.

One day I hope, I hope that you’ll understand why,

Why I could not look you in the eyes.

One day even I hope to understand why I could not tell you,

Tell you the truth about why I don’t love you.

One day I hope that I can look you in the eyes,

I hope that one day I will be able to,

Be able to look you in the eyes as I lie to you with that sweet smile on my face.
