Behind Brown Eyes



You're lost in a trace,
there's nothing on your face,

You hate me
That's what you've been feeling lately,

Behind your small brown eyes
is nothing but lies,

Your life is so perfect
you don't suspect,

But what happens if I leave?
You will suddenly cleave,

I don't hate you
It's just this toxicity must be through,

You're still my friend
Because this is a breakup letter I'll never send.
