In Your Eyes
The Weeknd & Doja Cat Lyrics

I just pretend that I'm in the dark, and
I prefer to not know the truth, and live in ignorance.

I don't regret 'cause my heart can't take a loss
I don't regret anything because I can't bear to lose anything.

I'd rather be so oblivious
I'd rather not know the truth and keep pretending everything is fine.

I'd rather be with you
I want to be with you, despite any negative situations or truths that may arise.

When it's said, when it's done, yeah
After everything has been said and done,

I don't ever wanna know
I don't want to know the truth or any potentially negative information.

I can tell what you done, yeah
I can sense that something has happened.

When I look at you
When I look at you, I can sense something is wrong.

In your eyes
I can see the pain and hurt in your eyes.

I see there's something burning inside you
I can sense that you're hurting on the inside.

In your eyes
Through your eyes, I can see what's going on.

I know it hurts to smile but you try to
I can see that you're in a lot of pain, but you're trying to hide it by smiling.

You always try to hide the pain
You always try to cover up the pain you're feeling.

You always know just what to say
You're very good at hiding your true emotions and putting up a front.

I always look the other way
I choose not to acknowledge the negative things that are happening.

I'm blind, I'm blind
I'm purposely ignoring the truth and any warning signs.

You lie, but I don't let it define you
I know that you're lying, but I won't let that define who you are as a person.

I never lied when I cried for you
When I cried for you, it was genuine and truthful.

And I know you cry, too (know you cry, too)
I know that you're also hurting and crying on the inside.

You're reading minds, just couldn't deny you do
You have a way of sensing how others are feeling, and you can't deny it.

Always hard to say "bye" to you (and I taught myself to say)
It's always difficult to say goodbye to you, and I've had to teach myself how to do it.

Love the way you're talkin', love your style but, ooh, babe
I love the way you talk and your style, even during difficult times.

You know that you got it for me
You know that you're the right person for me.

And it's haunting you deep, too hard not to see it
You're deeply affected by something, and it's impossible not to see it.

Hate the way I feel love, only hurts with real love
I hate how much love can hurt, especially when it's real love.

It's taking every part of me, when you look, I could see love
Loving you is taking a toll on me, but whenever I look at you, I see love.

One day, I'm giving you space
One day, I'm giving you the time and space you need.

And the next day, you're giving me faces
But the next day, you're giving me attitude and being difficult.

And I like parties, not this place
I like to have fun, but I don't like being in this current situation.

It's comin' out of my bag for you to get wasted
I'm willing to go out of my way to make sure you have a good time.

(I can't stop staring at you)
I can't help but look at you and be drawn to you.

It's like I forgot that staring is rude
I'm so lost in thought about you that I forget what's socially acceptable.

But you've done most things that gentlemens do, so
But you've shown me that you're a gentleman in many other ways.

When it's said, when it's done, yeah
After everything has been said and done,

I would never let you know (let you know)
I would never reveal to you how I truly feel.

I'm ashamed of what I've done, yeah
I feel guilt and shame about my actions.

When I look at you
When I look at you, I feel this guilt and shame even more.

In your eyes (your eyes)
In your eyes, I see the reflection of my own guilt and shame.

I see there's something burning inside you (inside you)
I can see that you're still hurting and struggling with something.

Oh, inside you (inside you)
It's something that's deeply affecting you.

In your eyes
Through your eyes, I can see the depth of our emotions and struggles.

I know it hurts to smile but you try to (try to)
I can see that you're trying to be strong and put on a brave face even when it hurts.

Oh, you try to (I try to, babe)
You're trying your best to make things work.

You always try to hide the pain (oh, oh)
You always try to keep your pain and struggles hidden from others.

You always know just what to say (yeah, yeah)
You're very good at deflecting and avoiding difficult conversations.

I always look the other way
I tend to ignore negative situations and brush them under the rug.

I'm blind, I'm blind
I'm deliberately choosing to stay ignorant and blind to the truth.

You lie, but I don't let it define you (oh)
I know that you're lying, but I won't let that define what kind of person you are.

Oh, define you
I won't let your lies define who you are or our relationship.
