"Bright Eyes" lyrics

"Bright Eyes"

I know that every day's been a night
And I know you've been digging for that morning light
You always say there's nothing here for you and me
But come back
I need you in my reality

Bright eyes
I'm your friend but I need you not to cry anymore
Bright eyes
I'm your friend but I need you not to cry anymore

It's been the same way for months
Now I need you not to break anymore
I'm gonna stick to you like glue
'Cause I need you not to break anymore

I know you've been feeling like a greying cloud
That you believe in anything when you are down
Can't even see all the lines you used to read between
Dead eyes gonna cut you like a guillotine

Bright eyes
I'm your friend but I need you not to cry anymore
Bright eyes
I'm your friend but I need you not to cry anymore

It's been the same way for months
Now I need you not to break anymore
I'm gonna stick to you like glue
'Cause I need you not to break anymore

Well come down
There's nobody here to take your place
In my eyes there's no cruelty and there's no grace
See the light as it cuts through your window glass
Hear the streets as they sing that old things pass
Hear the bells as they ring for a different end
Look out, you see somebody waiting on a friend
