Dry Your Eyes
The Street Lyrics

In one single moment your whole life can turn around, I stand there for a minute staring straight into the ground.
Life is unpredictable and can take sudden turns, leaving one feeling lost and helpless.

Looking to the left slightly then looking back down the world feels like its caved in proper sorry frown.
The world seems bleak and depressing, leading to a feeling of hopelessness.

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. We can even have an open relationship if we must.
The singer is willing to work on their relationship and suggests various options, including an open relationship, with the foundation of trust that they share.

I look at her, she stares almost straight back at me but her eyes glaze over like she's looking straight through me. Then her eyes must have closed for what seems an eternity, when they opened up she's lookin down at her feet.
The artist notices his partner's distant gaze and later, they avoid eye contact altogether, possibly indicating a lack of interest in continuing the relationship.

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 artist consoles the heartbroken listener, assuring them that they will find someone else and that it's time to move on from the failed relationship.

So then I moved my hand off and down by my side, shaking, my life is crashing before my eyes. 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 is overwhelmed with emotions and expresses his despair through physical movements, trying to come to terms with the relationship ending.

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. It weren't supposed to be easy, surely, please please, I'm begging, please.
The singer cannot fathom living without their partner and pleads for another chance, unwilling to accept the reality of the situation.

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.
The artist, in a desperate attempt to salvage the relationship, tries to physically connect with his partner by holding her close, expressing his desire to make things work and not give up easily.

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.
Despite the artist's efforts, their partner has already made up their mind and walks away, leaving the artist alone and heartbroken.

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 artist reflects on their past communication difficulties in the relationship, recognizing that their partner is distancing themselves further despite their efforts to hold on.

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 reiterates that it's time to let go of the failed relationship and move on, despite the pain and desperation to hold on.
