Bright Black Eyes

I thought that I knew where my heart, it had landed

I thought that I'd worked it all out

I thought you'd be willing to hold me at night and

I thought that that's what I would want

But I was a blind man in love with a demon and I couldn't figure it out

Your bright black eyes have started to quench all the light in my soul

Your bright black eyes have stared to strip all the sense from my mind

This desert, it seems to have no plans of ending

So I have to make it my home

You gave me a chance, now I know I can't take it

I'd rather just be here alone

Your bright black eyes have started to quench all the light in my soul

Your bright black eyes have started to strip all the sense from my mind

I have let you play me and take me to places that I thought that I couldn't find

Your bright black eyes have started to quench all the light in my soul

Your bright black eyes have started to strip all the sense from my mind

Don't talk to me about love

This has nothing to do with that word

This is just good old-fashioned exploitation

You're not serious

So just like a dog that returns to his vomit

I guess that I do it because

I get no more pleasure from self-deprecation

It's not as much fun as it was

Your bright black eyes have started to quench all the light in my soul

Your bright black eyes have started to strip all the sense from my mind
