Eye 2 Eye
Aly & Fila Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I look into your clear blue eyes,
I could cry, I could cry.
When I think of what they've put you through,
You know it tears me up inside.

Left alone in your darkest night,
By the one you trustiest most.
How come they expect you to,
Be such a gratuitous host?

When you look upon that heart of shame
Now I have to face,
All these accusations and questions that
End at your disgrace

Now you are left in the darkest night
By the ones you trust the most
But now just follow blind ambition
Like a promise of unknown costs

When I look into your clear blue eyes
I could cry, I could cry
When I think of what they put you through
You know it tears me up inside




You know it tears me up inside
You know it tears me up inside
