"Don't Look Away"


don't look away
I don't think I could stand it
so don't look away
cause my heart couldn't handle it

there's a fire in your eyes
and it's melting the ice in my heart
so don't blink an eye
they're so beautiful open
just let them cry, or the spell will be broken

the moments in your gaze
have been turning to days in my heart
we've never met, and yet we're in love
never forget, one look is enough
just as long as you don't look away

we can never be lovers
there's one chance to take
there won't be any others

I'll be spending my life
with your eyes, like a knife
in my heart
