That Faraway Look In Your Eyes

THAT FARAWAY LOOK IN YOUR EYES I’m waiting for you here, thinking ‘bout you all night long Can’t believe what you said, thought our love was deep and strong You say, you think our love is broken, Can’t be fixed with crazy glue I said I think you must be joking Now I see you believe it’s true Chorus There is a faraway look in your eyes I can see it… There is a leaving me look in your eyes I can feel it You say, you know just what I’m thinking And you know all the bad that I do Just when did you stop believing? You’ve left me here, feeling like a fool. You keep checking up on my cell phone, Wondering if she’s calling me You follow wherever my eyes go, Imagining all it is I see Chorus There is a faraway look in your eyes I can see it… There is a leaving me look in your eyes I can feel it I’ve been thinking about our love, thought for sure it was going to last Funny how your mind, can play tricks, and I see the wheels have come off the tracks. I’ve never been with anyone else How could you think so low of me? I’m obsessed with no one but you, But, you’re imprisoned by your jealousy Chorus There is a faraway look in your eyes I can see it… There is a leaving me look in your eyes I can feel it Repeat chorus Finale I’m still waiting for you here Thinking about you all night long.

Possessiveness runs parallel with love. Wait. She will be back.

Oh, such a sad and heartbreaking situation to be in, John. You write deep, longing heartache like no one else.. the kind of gripping emotion that reaches in and grabs you by the heart so you have no choice but to feel the verses instead of just reading them. An excellent and poignant lyric my talented friend.. Warmest wishes always.. ~Susan

Hi Jan, I actually have a few songwriters doing that, I tried to upload a song yesterday, but can't figure it out!
