Broken Eyes - Doves

There’s a light but no one’s home

You can hear the silence drone

A little artificial bliss

A happiness counterfeit

I’ve been chasing away those fears

Just happy to let things slip

Oh, when my angel appears

She’s wasting her time

I can’t help it if you don’t feel satisfied

You only ever looked at me through broken eyes

From the shortest of the nights to the longest sunrise

Broken eyes

I’ve been dreaming about my past

Thinking about a friend

And how we grew up too fast

Enjoying the years slip past

You see you’re present, but never here

It’s been a day, but feels like a year

Oh, when my angel appears

She’s wasting her time

I can’t help it if you don’t feel satisfied

You only ever looked at me through broken eyes

From the shortest of nights to the golden sunrise

Broken eyes

Oh, wasting time

I’ve been dreaming of you for days

How I wish you were near

Oh, when my angel appears

Don’t tell her I’m here

I can’t help it if you don’t feel satisfied

You only ever shed a tear through broken eyes

From the longest of nights to the shortest sunrise

You only looked at me through sharpened eyes

Oh, broken eyes

Paint that smile up on my face again

I was the last, was the last to know

I was the last, was the last to know

I was the last, was the last to know

I was the last, was the last to know
