Face to Face
Linda Davis Lyrics

Oh you don't have blue eyes
I was surprised to see that your eyes are not blue

I expected blue eyes
I had imagined that you would have blue eyes

That's how I pictured you would be
I had a specific image of what you would look like in my mind

And you don't have long hair
I also noticed that your hair is not long

I thought you'd have long hair
I had hoped that you would have long hair

So this is all a shock to me
Your appearance is quite different from what I anticipated, so it is a surprise to me

I didn't know if you would meet me
I was uncertain if you would actually show up to meet me

Or believe me
I was unsure if you would trust me and believe what I had to say

When I said that I was fooled
I had to admit to you that I had been misled and tricked

I really thought that I would hate you
Initially, I believed that I would despise you

I know I meant to
I had intended to hate you

There'd only be one of us left when we're through
I had thought that only one of us would come out victorious after our meeting

And I put myself in your place
I tried to imagine how you felt and empathized with you

I see the truth
I now understand what really happened and can see the situation clearly

I see who's really to blame
I can determine the person at fault in this situation

And I won't play his game
I refuse to engage in the manipulative actions of the other person involved

Or try to get even
I won't seek revenge or attempt to retaliate

He'll know he's lost watching us leaving
The person who caused this situation will witness us walking away and realize they have lost

I blamed you, but I see my mistakes
Initially, I blamed you for what happened, but now I realize my own errors

Now that we're face to face
Being in each other's presence has helped me to gain a new perspective

I believe in true love something to be sure of
I have faith in the power of genuine love as a stable foundation

Isn't that what we deserve
Don't we both deserve to experience authentic love?

There's no blame here, we both end up the same here
Neither of us can be blamed for what happened, but we both suffer the consequences

A little wiser than we were
However, we have become more knowledgeable and have learned from the situation

There was a time this would have killed me
In the past, this situation would have devastated me

And it may still be
It is possible that this could still harm me

Hard to look you in the eye
It may be uncomfortable for me to make eye contact with you

And now that all the spells are broken
Now that all of the illusions have been shattered

The truth's been spoken
The reality of the situation has been revealed

My heart has the strength to tell him goodbye
I have the courage to say goodbye to the one who caused all of this
