Tired Eyes
Crooks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Am I the coward you became? I am hollow and it shows, And I swear that I'm not coming home.
Distance fills the space between,
Our fingers used to fit so perfect,
But I have cuts on my hands, And I don't want to remember you as you are now to me.
I can only hope, and swear that I'm not coming home.
The feel, of the water reminds me, Your tears don't taste of salt.
Your bitter soul.
The fear in your eyes is blinding,
It cuts through the cracks in your soul.
I waited, just in case you walked by, I could have caught your eye, That evening. The snow, the snow fell hard that day,
But I couldn't care if I tried,
I wont forget that.
I won't, forget…
I swear that its so, I pray that I don't make it home, I swear that I wont make it home, I won't forget that.

Now hope seems so far away,
Hope feels distant, out of reach.
Am I the coward you became?
Has my fear made me like you?
I am hollow and it shows,
I feel empty and it's visible.
And I swear that I'm not coming home.
I promise I won't return.
Distance fills the space between,
Our separation feels immense.
Our fingers used to fit so perfect,
We were so in sync.
But I have cuts on my hands,
I bear scars from our past.
And I don't want to remember you as you are now to me.
I refuse to hold onto the present you.
The feel, of the water reminds me,
Water triggers memories.
Your tears don't taste of salt.
Your emotions aren't genuine.
Your bitter soul.
Your spirit is sour.
The fear in your eyes is blinding,
Your fear is overwhelming.
It cuts through the cracks in your soul.
Your fear exposes your inner flaws.
I waited, just in case you walked by,
I held onto hope for too long.
I could have caught your eye, That evening.
I could have had a chance with you.
The snow, the snow fell hard that day,
The weather matched my despair.
But I couldn't care if I tried,
I was too consumed by my pain to care.
I won't forget that.
I'll always remember that moment of realization.
I swear that its so,
I truly mean it.
I pray that I don't make it home,
I hope I never have to return.
I swear that I wont make it home,
I promise I won't come back.
I won't forget that.
And I'll never forget that realization.
