Once upon a time
I could make you happy
Once upon a time
We could really touch
That's all over now
I realize
Oh, those empty eyes

I was always there
When your heart was heavy
I was always there
To love away your pain
Now you won't let me in
I'm paralyzed
By those empty eyes
Oh, those empty eyes

Day after day
We've been driftin' away from each other
And it's tearin' me up
'Cause I don't understand what went wrong
I still want your love
I still need your love
Oh, I've loved you for so long

Don't turn away
I can't stand the silence
Please, don't turn away
Like you don't see my face
When I look at you
My heart just cries
For those empty eyes
Oh, those empty eyes
Oh, those empty eyes
