[Verse 1]
Trust me now, I never meant to spill the words like this
But somehow, I find it hard to shake you off my lips
Took a vow to back off when it's time to resist
But somehow I find it hard to cross you off my list
And I'm open-hearted, I cut it out myself
But I can't seem to let in anybody else
And I'm open-minded but I always seem to fail
To use my brain when I'm with you

[Chorus]
And I love the look in your eyes when she's away
And I love the look in your eyes when she can't stay
And I tried and tried to stop screamin' out your name
I take the blame
But I love the look in your eyes when she's away

[Verse 2]
Trust me now, my intentions were those of a friend
But somehow, I still feel you distant and compelled
And I cut my heart out, I put it on your shelf
But I can't stand to see you with somebody else
And I need to speak out before you call for help
I go insane when she's with you

[Chorus]
And I love the look in your eyes when she's away
And I love the look in your eyes when she can't stay
And I tried and tried to stop screamin' out your name
I take the blame
But I love the look in your eyes when she's away
[Bridge]
I'm open-hearted I cut it out myself
But I don't wanna see you with somebody else
And it's open-ended, it's a tragedy itself
Prayin' for someone like you

[Chorus]
And I love the look in your eyes when she's away
And I love the look in your eyes when she can't stay
And I tried and tried to stop screamin' out your name
I take the blame
But I love the look in your eyes when she's away
But I love the look in your eyes when she's away
