after we play, don’t look into my eyes
for you’ll find someone who’s fallen for you
every wall she’s built broken, every lie and every disguise
unmanned, unravelled, her heart split in two
she’s all softness now,
lost in the dreams you drew

instead fix your tie, comb your beard
we both know you’ve got somewhere else to go
give me time to pull myself together, my emotions secured
from every single yearning you will never know
until the next time we come together
and the moment i watch you go
