Dry Your Eyes
Streets Lyrics

In one single moment your whole life can turn around, I stand there for a minute staring straight into the ground.
Life can change drastically in a single moment. The singer is feeling overwhelmed and looks down, feeling sorry.

Looking to the left slightly then looking back down the world feels like its caved in proper sorry frown.
The singer feels like his world has come crashing down on him and he looks sad and remorseful.

Please let me show you how we could only just be for us, I can change and I can grow or we can adjust. The wicked thing about us is we always have trust.
The singer wants to work on the relationship, grow and adjust to make it work. He values the trust they have in each other.

We can even have an open relationship if we must.

I look at her, she stares almost straight back at me but her eyes glaze over like she's looking straight through me.
The singer and his partner are looking at each other, but she seems distant and not engaged in the conversation.

Then her eyes must have closed for what seems an eternity, when they opened up she's lookin down at her feet.
The partner seems deep in thought and avoids eye contact with the singer by looking down.

Dry your eyes mate, I know it's hard to take but her mind has been made up. There's plenty more fish in the sea.
The singer advises his friend to accept that the relationship is over and move on because there are other opportunities out there.

So then I moved my hand off and down by my side, shaking, my life is crashing before my eyes.
The singer's world is falling apart and he feels crushed, trembling as he moves his hand away.

I turn the palm of my hand up to face the skies, touched the bottom of her chin and let out a sigh.
The singer reaches up to the sky and touches his partner's chin, desperately trying to connect with her and feeling sad.

Because I can't imagine my life without you and me, there's things I can't imagine doing, things I can't imagine seeing.
The singer can't picture his life without his partner and there are experiences he can't fathom without her.

It weren't supposed to be easy, surely, please please, I'm begging, please.
The singer is pleading with his partner to reconsider and work on the relationship because it won't be easy, but he's begging for her to try.

She brings her hands up towards where my hands rested she wraps her fingers around mine with the softness she's blessed with.
The partner holds the singer's hands gently, showing vulnerability and tenderness.

She peels away my fingers looks at me and then gestures, by pushing my hand away to my chest from hers.
The partner subtly breaks away from the singer's touch and moves his hand back to his own chest.

And I'm just standing there. I can't say a word. 'Cause everything has just gone. I've got nothing. Absolutely nothing.
The singer is speechless and has lost everything he had in the relationship, feeling empty and lost.

Trying to pull her close out of bare desperation, put my arms around her to try to change what she's saying.

Put my head level with hers so she might engage in. Look into her eyes to make her listen again, I'm not gonna fuckin' just fuckin' just leave it all now.

'Cause you said it would be forever and that was your vow, and your gonna let our things simply crash and fall down.
The singer reminds his partner of the promise of forever, feeling hurt that she is letting their relationship crumble.

Your well out of order now, this is well out of town.
The situation is completely out of control and the partner is well in the wrong.

She pulls away, my arms that are tightly clamped around her waist gently pushes me back as she looks at me straight.

Turns around so she's now got her back to my face, takes one step forward, looks back and then walks away.

I know in the past I've found it hard to say, telling you things but not telling you straight. But the more I pull on your hand the more you pull away.
The singer admits he has difficulty communicating effectively and has trouble being direct. He feels like his efforts to hold on are pushing his partner further away.

Dry your eyes mate, I know it's hard to take but her mind has been made up. There's plenty more fish in the sea. Dry your eyes mate, I know you want to make her see how much this pain hurts, but you've got to walk away now.
The singer repeats his advice to his friend to accept the situation and move on from the pain because there are other opportunities out there.
