I Wish I Had Eyes Like Yours

[Intro – Gritty Guitar + Drums] (Distorted guitar chugs in Drop D: D5 – F5 – A5 – G5, repeat x2.] Bass drives root notes, drums build from heartbeat kicks to snare + crash.) Verse 1: You light up the room without even trying I sit in the back, my silence is hiding You look right through me, I don’t make a sound But my heart is a riot that can’t calm down Pre-Chorus: If only you knew the way I feel But some truths cut deeper than they heal Chorus: I wish I had eyes like yours Burning bright through every closed door I’m stuck in shadows, choking on time I wish I had eyes like yours instead of mine Verse 2: You laugh with the crowd, I fake that I’m fine But the weight of this secret is breaking my spine Every word I don’t say just tears me apart I’m screaming your name at the walls of my heart Pre-Chorus: If only you knew the way I feel But some truths cut deeper than they heal Chorus: I wish I had eyes like yours Burning bright through every closed door I’m stuck in shadows, choking on time I wish I had eyes like yours instead of mine Bridge (Explosive, shouted): In another life I’d let it out Tear down these walls, I’d scream and shout But here I am, locked in disguise Bleeding in silence behind my eyes Final Chorus (Biggest, loudest): I wish I had eyes like yours Burning bright through every closed door I’m stuck in silence, you’ll never know I wish I had eyes like yours before I go Outro (Haunting Fade): I wish I had eyes like yours… I wish I had eyes like yours…
