Eyes Without a Spark Lyrics
You’d call me up when everything was heavy on your chest
I poured myself into the cracks, gave you my best
And I told myself that love just looks like giving more
But baby, you were takin’ what you needed at the door
I watched you laugh, I watched you breathe, I watched you live
Memorised the way your hands moved when you’d speak
But your eyes — your eyes never lied to me
There was no light in ’em when you looked my way
(ooh)
I kept making room inside a space that had no door
Kept on filling up your cup while mine was on the floor
And every time I’d think of leaving — something pulled me back
I guess loving the idea of you was all I ever had
But your eyes don’t spark the way they used to
And I’ve been burning just to keep from losing you
I love you, but your love was never true
So I’m choosing me — I’m finally choosing me
Mm, your eyes don’t spark, no, not for me
And I deserve a love I actually can see
So I’m letting go of what you couldn’t be
I’m choosing me — I’m choosing me
(choosing me)
Some mornings I still reach — muscle memory, I know
My body hasn’t caught up with the choice I chose to grow
I miss the smell of your jacket on a Sunday afternoon
Miss the version of you I invented in my room
But that girl you needed — she ain’t here no more
She got tired of standing silent at your door
She deserved somebody who would search for her in crowds
Not just call her up when life got heavy and loud
(ooh)
I kept making room inside a space that had no door
Kept on filling up your cup while mine was on the floor
But I saw it — saw it in your eyes — the truth you’d never say
So I stopped waiting for a love that always looked away
But your eyes don’t spark the way they used to
And I’ve been burning just to keep from losing you
I love you, but your love was never true
So I’m choosing me — I’m finally choosing me
Mm, your eyes don’t spark, no, not for me
And I deserve a love I actually can see
So I’m letting go of what you couldn’t be
I’m choosing me — I’m choosing me
I won’t lie — some nights I still want you near
Wrap myself in what we were and just disappear
But craving something cold don’t make it warm
And aching for your arms don’t make it home
I forgive myself for all the times I stayed
For every prayer I prayed to make you change
I was whole before you, I’ll be whole again
And loving me was not the hardest thing
Your eyes don’t spark the way they used to
And I’ve been burning just to keep from losing you
I love you, but your love was never true
So I’m choosing me — I’m finally choosing me
Mm, your eyes don’t spark, no, not for me
And I deserve a love I actually can see
So I’m letting go of what you couldn’t be
I’m choosing me — I’m choosing me
Mm, I’m choosing me… I’m choosing me…
No more waiting on a love that couldn’t see
I’m choosing me… yeah… I’m choosing me…
