Light her eyes by Ezra Vancil


take down her picture frame alone
put up some painting of a poet
pack all the lies and ties away
this story ends the same
a different name
my momma said not to let you go
my father said that you never know
love is a stranger to us
but feelings are a story often told and sold
so take off that ring so no one knows
that promise cheaper than the gold
that lovers take so they can brake
the loneliness of the cold
don't light her eyes again
don't let her find the place you hide
telling her lies again
don't let her love she'll come inside
and i'm tired of us always leaving
and hoping the lies are worth believing

put up the stories that you wrote
take off the faith that makes poet
pack up the memory and chains
the story ends the same
they’re all the same
my momma said not to let you go
my father said that love is slow
but it's dangerous in the
feelings that are waves that come and go and tough
don't light her eyes again
don't let her find the place you hide
telling her lies again
don't let her love she'll come inside
and i'm tired of us always leaving
and hoping the lies are worth believing

so take off that ring its made of gold
like promise says it's bought and sold
pack up the glory and the shame
in a box with the picture frame
and sign her name

don't light her eyes again
don't make her feel so alive
telling her lies again
don't let her love she'll come inside
and i'm tired of her always leaving
me with the lies and i still believe it
don't light her eyes again
don't let her find the place you hide
telling her lies again
don't let her love she'll come inside
and i'm tired of us always leaving
me with the lies and i'm still believing
