Daddy's Eyes
The Killers攀 Lyrics

I'll tell you what you wanna know,
I'm willing to share information with you.

But boy you better listen close.
Pay attention carefully to what I am about to say.

People gonna tell you lies,
Be prepared to hear untruthful information from others.

Don't let it come as a surprise.
Expect to be deceived at times and don't let it catch you off guard.

That woman's on my back again,
I am being bothered by a particular woman.

I know she's got the best intentions.
I understand she means well but it is still bothersome.

When you begin to realize,
As you mature and gain more understanding.

You know you got your daddy's eyes.
You will begin to see things from the same perspective as me (your father).

And there's something that I want to say,
I have something important to share with you.

I love her, too.
I also have feelings for the woman that is causing me grief.

And all of this has got nothing to do with you.
What is happening between me and this woman has no relation to you.

And I'd like to stay but I can't because
I would prefer to remain here but there are circumstances preventing me from doing so.

I've been fooling around and I know
I have been unfaithful in my romantic relationships.

That you called because you never even knew
You were unaware of the deception.

That it was hurting me.
My actions were causing me emotional pain.

When you put it on the other hand,
When you view it from a different perspective.

When you're old enough to understand.
Once you have gained enough wisdom and experience.

That glove will bring it all to life,
That particular item will make everything more real or vivid.

I didn't say that made it right.
I am not claiming that this makes the situation correct or justifiable.

And sometimes people get tired,
Occasionally individuals become fatigued or exhausted.

And I woke up a little too late to lie.
I realized too late that lying was not the right choice.

Dreams should last a long time,
Ambitious aspirations and goals should be pursued for a substantial period of time.

This is not what I'd call goodbye.
This is not a final farewell or conclusion to our relationship.

And I'd love to stay but I can't because
I would genuinely enjoy staying here but there are external factors inhibiting my ability to do so.

That you called because you never even knew
You were not aware of the extent of my emotional struggles.

That it was hurting me, me.
My personal pain and heartache were significant.

I love her, too.
I continue to experience strong feelings for the woman causing me difficulty.
