Fire in Your Eyes
Blue Shoes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I saw you yesterday
With fire in your eyes
The look you gave to me
A wish for my demise
I know you feel the pain
Of someone else's name
But love you hurt me more than that
I never thought that after
All that we'd been through
You'd have a change of heart
What was I to do?
I know it hurts inside
To see him by my side
But love you hurt me more than that

Try, try, try
God knows I try
Cry, cry, cry
God knows I cry
Well I can't take it anymore
No I can't take it anymore
Ohhhhh no

I saw you yesterday
With fire in your eyes
The look you gave to me
A wish for my demise
I know you feel the pain
Of someone else's name
But love you hurt me more than that

I saw you yesterday
With fire in your eyes
The look you gave to me
A wish for my demise
I know it hurts inside
To see him by my side
But love you hurt me more than that
But love you hurt me more than that





Yeah love you hurt me more than that
