"i can't see"

(it's been)
six seconds
you've got me
looked in my eyes
and stole me
one second
i struggled
four second's gaze
a firm hold
your eyes can
grip a strong man
never wanna drop your guard
you're so bad
it's no wonder
i lost the first round

don't trick me
don't take me
don't show me
i can't see
you'll leave me
you'll hurt me
you'll take me
then you walk away
don't trick me
don't take me
don't show me 'cause
i can't see

your shine
your shine is fading...
away

[instrumental verse]

2 minutes past
the first one
i knew i'd get shot down
before long
didn't know you hadn't 
been there before
pretty soon 
you couldn't take anymore
you sealed your
heart off from me
couldn't work it anyway
now could we
it happened
but you lost the last round

don't trick me
don't take me
don't show me
i can't see
you'll leave me
you'll hurt me
you'll take me
then you walk away
don't trick me
don't take me
don't show me
i can't see

your shine
your shine is fading...
away

[instrumental verse]
