Behind Your Eyes

I've got a little secret deep inside
Buried under pages of a life
I wouldn't read again, but can't unwrite
And you, you tell me that you've got your secret, too
I see it every time your eyes pierce through
Eyes that are as kind as they are blue
And they always tell the truth

And I feel a peculiar sense of deference inside
'Cause you found me out, but you aren't about to cut out ties
And I feel in your look of grace my heart and soul collide
So tell me, is it you I see?
Or is it God behind your eyes?

I've got demons in the closet from my past
Buried underneath a heap of ash
Memories of a life I let collapse
And you, you tell me that you've got your demons, too
And you know exactly what I'm going through
Well, your heart must be as big as it is true
To forgive the way you do

And I feel a peculiar sense of deference inside
'Cause you found me out, but you aren't about to cut our ties
And I feel in your look of grace my heart and soul collide
So tell me, is it you I see?
Or is it God behind your eyes?

If looks could kill then consider me dead
All my knowledge slain, all excuses vain
My pride is crushed by words I've said
And I feel a change, it's a scary thing
